The View Under The Pier Photo Contest Winners
Thank you to all the photographers that shared their best photos shot under piers in the View Under The Pier Photo Contest with chances to win a Focus Shifter and more!
A special thanks to our friend and professional photographer Michiel Pieters for his collaboration as a guest judge in this photo contest. Michiel is a 26 year old, self taught freelance photographer based in Beringen, Belgium. He discovered his love for outdoor photography while on a road trip through New Zealand in the beginning of 2015. His work nowadays focuses mainly on the feeling he got being on the road for the very first time: Adventure. To offer a documentation of his travels on a constant basis, he uses different media platforms such as Instagram and 500px. Where with a combined following of approximately 300,000 he quickly became one of Belgium's biggest (outdoor) influencers.
"The thing i like about this photo is the way how the shadows really lead you into it. They work really well as a leading line." - Michiel Pieters
"I love this one because he stretched the theme. It’s under a pier, but there’s so much going on with all the wildlife. It’s how imagine it when i’m sitting on a pier, and all the fish come out beneath it. Great photo." - Michiel Pieters
"I love the colors and the subject in this. The pier leads your eye to the watchtower (or lighthouse?). And the composition is really nice." - Michiel Pieters
