Thank you to all the photographers that shared their photos showing the effect of wind. Wind can be a great tool to get additional elements in a photo providing many benefits but it may also ruin the final result.... Happily, we can say that the photos within the collection in this photo contest's gallery are examples of how to correctly capture wind through the viewfinder. Browse all the entries and get inspired!
A special thanks to our friends at Photo Dough - the #1 daily deal site for photographers - for making this photo contest possible and to friend and professional photographer John Powell for his collaboration as a guest judge.
Congratulations to the Grand Jury Selection:
"_DSC9665LR" by danilopiccioni
"This one jumped off the screen as soon as I saw it. The movement, the colours, the composition they all compliment each other perfectly. The simplicity of the guy sitting there being battered by the wind adds greatly to the movement of the crowd. Definitely my favourite from the competition." - John Powell
Congratulations to the First Runner Up "Tornado in the Plains" by evanludes
"Love the composition and the colours the author has captured in this image. Despite the tornado only taking up a small portion of the frame the image the image has a lot of tension and that's what appeals to me - great shot!" - John Powell
Congratulations to the Second Runner Up "Sentinel" by Jellyfire
"The lighting on this image has been captured perfectly. The wind turbine and the surrounding field are bathed in a glorious golden glow. The movement in the blades of the turbine brings the whole image together - Love it!" - John Powell
Congratulations to the People's Choice "Wild" by jareddbell
