Manche Dinge passen einfach nicht in einen engen Rahmen. Wir geben einen Rundumblick über die besten Panorama-Aufnahmen der Welt

Open Photographer of the Year and the Nature/Landscape category is Alessandro Cantarelli from Italy for his entries Last Fireworks, Jackpot and Mann. Last Fireworks Describing Last Fireworks Cantarelli said, “As the sun went down, the sky literally exploded. Layer after layer of clouds lit up, painting the desert with fire and gold. Using my Sony A7 IV with a fisheye lens on a tripod, I captured a full multi- exposure sequence at f/8 and ISO 100, rotating carefully around the nodal point to create a seamless 360° panorama.”

Und eine einzigartige Technik entwickelt, bei der verschiedene Perspektiven zu einer Ansicht verschmelzen.

Open Photographer of the Year First place Nature/Landscape category Alessandro Cantarelli, Italy Alex Wides (Alessandro Cantarelli) is an Italian fine-art landscape photographer known worldwide for his pioneering work in extreme panoramic landscapes.

Amateur Winner_1 Amateur Photographer of the Year First place Nature/Landscape category Kevin Nyun, USA My name is Kevin Nyun. I have been a hobbyist landscape photographer and an avid adventurer based in San Francisco, United States. I began my photography journey back in 2021 when a friend of mine sold me his Sony A6100 camera. Even before I owned a camera, I have always been inspired by nature and the moments that occurred within our environment such as the sea of fog in my local city, the burning skies during sunrises and sunsets, the alpine glow on top of the mountain peaks, or the Auroras dancing above the sky. Each of the surreal moments to me is like an escape from reality, and now I use photography to freeze time. My Post Processing style is to have a natural feel but with a tad play with my imagination. I learned a lot from photographers like Daniel Kordan, Albert Dros, and Jose Riqueleme. As the years go on, I continue to develop my style. Photography is also a great excuse to travel. From 2022 to present days, I have been traveling whenever I have time off of work both within the US and International. Sometimes I do feel I am late to the game where places I am barely exploring, other photographers have explored the area and the compositions have been shot gazillion times. Therefore, when I am on the field I do my best to find unique ways to portray my compositions, and now I am even researching places less traveled. At the end of the day my goal is always the same, chase where the conditions align and wherever the light shines. www.kevinnyunphoto.com IG @kevinnyunphoto YouTube @kevinnyunphoto

As a technical experiment, I manually shot a 48-image panorama using a DJI Phantom 3 Pro. The final artwork is the result of meticulously stitching and inverting the composite, transforming the city and sky into a mesmerizing, abstract landscape. Upon its initial release, the image captivated a global audience, overwhelming my Instagram with an unexpected and passionate response.

Curator's Award Chris Byrne, USA ELYSIUM During the late summer months of August the high alpine areas of Mount Rainier in Washington come alive with wildflowers. Starting at the lower elevations and then working into bloom at higher elevations as the days go on. This particular year I had quite a bit of time to explore this park and made three or four hikes on separate occasions up to this location with my main purpose to photograph a tarn that had a perfect reflection of this glorious mountain. And each time that I did that hike, this field of lupine just kept getting better and better. On my final trek up there for the season with a very good friend of mine, we were all alone breathing in the fresh mountain air and listening to the birds watching this scene of a perfect meadow and mountain unfold before our eyes. As some storm clouds started blowing out to the east I knew that there would be a gap on the horizon and purposefully waited until the very last rays of the sun gave the field of flowers that beautiful side and back light for the depth that I wanted in the image. Just a minute after pressing the shutter the light and drama was gone. chrisbyrnephotography.com instagram @chrisbyrnephotography www.facebook.com/ChrisByrnePhoto

Although I’ve witnessed the wildebeest migration countless times, it never ceases to amaze me. Last year, I found myself back in Kenya once again. Photographing the migration is never easy — it demands lots of patience and of cos a touch of luck. After several hours of waiting, we finally saw the wildebeests moving. It’s always a breathtaking moment to witness the crossing. As a photographer, you have to pace yourself, stay calm amid the chaos, and think carefully about how to frame the story unfolds before you. For this image, what caught my attention was a lone wildebeest turning back amidst the frenzy. In that instant, I knew that was the shot I wanted.
