Skyward Photo Contest Finalists

Thank you to all the participants that shared their favorite shots of the sky in this photo contest with chances to win a Bang & Olufsen Beosound Explore and more cool prizes!
A special thanks to friend and professional photographer Matt Suess for his collaborations as a guest judge: "For the first 17 years of my career I was a photojournalist based in New England. I am a digital photography pioneer and began teaching digital photography to photojournalists in the late 90’s, helping bring digital cameras to two different newspapers. I was awarded the 2003 New England Press Associations Photographer of the Year award for my work at the Cape Cod Times. During my time as a photojournalist, I also photographed weddings & portraits, as well as corporate & commercial assignments. I teach numerous field & classroom workshops throughout the year as well as online courses and I provide occasional free online webinars. You may have already seen my videos for software companies such as Skylum and ON1. My passion for sharing and teaching what I have learned during my long career is evident in my down-to-earth and encouraging approach with my clients."
