Thank you to all the photographers that shared their best photos B&W water shots in the Water In Black And White Photo Contest with chances to win a Sigma Lens and more!

A special thanks to our friend and professional photographer Nathan Wirth for his collaboration as a guest judge in this photo contest. Nathan Wirth, who was born and raised in San Francisco, is a self-learned photographer that uses a variety of techniques— including long exposure and infrared— to express his unending wonder of the fundamental fact of existence by attempting to focus on the silence that we can sometimes perceive in between the incessant waves of sound that often dominate our perceptions of the world. Nathan also curates and edits, slices of silence, an online place to read and view conversations about photography.
