Price of 40 SBD / 40 USD: 7 World's Continents Photo Challenge - MONTHLY WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT - June 2019!
Hello fellow Steemians,
It is my great pleasure to announce the 6th monthly winner of 2019 of my 7 World's Continents Photo Challenge that has established its position among the most popular photo contests on Steemit. By joining this challenge you have a chance to showcase your skills by submitting your personal photographs from your travels around the globe and get some decent upvotes and rewards on the way to possibly collect 200 SBD in total (if you become the yearly winner).
The 6th monthly winner of the year 2019 is nobody else than @ladybug146 with her stunning image below:
Another goodie from Banff National park. This is a view of Cascade Mountain and the small resort town of Banff at the bottom from the top of Sulfur Mountain at over 7000 ft in altitude. In april, most of the snow in the valleys is melted leaving snow covered peaks until summer. Taking pictures from high altitudes results in a blue haze when looking down below, fighting with the atmosphere, much like when looking up at the sky, it appears blue, same concept but reverse.
For submitting her image, @ladybug146 received approximately $2 in upvotes from me, 20 SBD for winning the weekly round and I am sending her another 40 SBD now for winning the monthly challenge.
If you like @ladybug146 photo, you can help her win another 100 SBD by upvoting this monthly winner announcement that will then compete against the previous and upcoming monthly winners of the year! The winner of the yearly challenge of 2019 will be the image with the highest value of upvotes on the monthly winner announcement.
Please see the previous monthly winners of the year 2018:
@roadtrips January winning entry:
Preikestolen, Norway. View down the Preikestolen platform above the Lysefjord-fjord. The rock formation is about 600 meters above the sea level. If you are traveling in Norway this highlight is definately a must visit destination.
@gunnarheilmann February winning entry:
This is a lucky shot one gets rarely. Last year i was at the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in California photographing at night. Then take a 4000 years old tree, 3 Shooting Stars (the third one is hard to see in low res) and a plane add the Milky Way and wait for this to happend it in front of you in the same minute you sit there. I got lucky and managed to get it in one single long exposure Light Painting. Starting off with a first 2minute of the exposure at F22 ISO 3200 lighting up the Metusalem, then when I was finished with that I gave the Milky Way another 30 seconds to develop, changing the settings of the lens to F2.8. Then we saw 3 shooting stars in the sky plus that air plane. What a surprise! What makes that picture so special is that there was no layers needed in post-production. Just the way I like it, No Photoshop needed.
@vcclothing March winning entry:
On a recent trip to Namibia we got to climb dune 45. Dune 45 is part of the world's largest sand dunes, located in the Sossusvlei desert. We climbed up it at sunrise, it was amazing climbing up through the morning fog, then to watch it all clear away and realised how high up we actually were.
@mrprofessor April winning entry:
Canyon Fortaleza - Cambará do Sul, Brazil. On the flat lands of southern Brazil I once found myself near this big scar on the earth. The canyons Fortaleza and Intaimbezinho are one of the most iconic and impressive points to contemplate what nature can produce.
@bluebottlefilms May winning entry:
The clarity of the water at my local marine sanctuary is amazing at the moment. I love it when the conditions are like this and have been getting down there as much as possible. The northern beaches of Sydney are so lucky to have Cabbage Tree Bay on it's doorstep!
