2018-SkyPixel-Contest-People's-Choice-Prize-red-train_1

With over 30,000 applications from 141 countries, the jury chose the best. Among the laureates are photographers from Poland: Witold Ziomek and Michał Sadowski.

Every year, the jury and the audience of the SkyPixel contest browse thousands of photos and videos in search of the best of them. This year the best photo was taken by Deryk Baumgärtner. His photograph shows the mysterious, shrouded morning fog of the monastery on St. Michael's Mount - a tidal island off the coast of Cornwall in Mount's Bay.

The German photographer for the first time sent his photo to the competition, but has been involved in drone photography since 2013. The best drone photo of 2018 was made by the drone DJI Mavic Pro. Now Baumgärtner will be able to try his hand at slightly different equipment.

The award in the SkyPixel photo competition is a bit of a wet dream for many photographers: the Hasselblad X1D-50c medium format mirrorless camera with the 45 mm f / 3.5 XCD lens and the Pelican EL22 Elite suitcase. Such a set in Poland costs about 45 thousand. zł.

In the video category, Ain Raadik won for just over a three-minute film recorded by DJI Mavic Pro . His picture is a shapely, subtle and inspiring combination of his favorite shots from his travels around New Zealand, Japan and Australia, where he lives. Raadik will also receive a valuable package of prizes: a professional DJI Inspire 2 Professional Combo with a set of Zenmuse X7 DL / DL-S lenses and a Pelican EL22 Elite suitcase. This set is valued at approx. 50,000 zł.

Witold Ziomek awarded in the Architecture category

Instagram profile of Witold Ziomek I have been watching for a long time. This is one of my favorite photographers from Poland, publishing on this platform. Ziomka's photo was also noticed by the SkyPixel jury. Photography took second place in the Architecture category.

I asked the photographer how he made this excellent photo.

I took the picture in December 2017 during my first (and so far only) trip to Asia. I spent three days in the Kingdom of Pagan, chatting daily from 4:00 am to the light, but until the last morning I was fighting with a lot of cloudiness. On the last morning I waited 2 hours for a scooter (the owner of the shrine was not overrun), late in the east I dropped in a cloud of dust on the seat. I took pictures for about 10 minutes, I started the drone quickly, because I was already a bit late for the bus I was going to go to another part of the country. I was about to let go of flying the drone, because I did not expect anything to come out. Then I rode the scooter with the battery falling towards the hotel, where the bus would appear in a few minutes. Finally, the driver was late for a good hour, so I had senseless stress.

Efforts and stress paid off because Ziomek not only has the opportunity to show his work, but he will get a very interesting set: DJI Mavic Air Fly More Combo, Osmo Pocket , DJI Goggles Racin Edition, PGYTECH Mavic Air Accessories Combo and case Pelican 1400 The winner of the entire category was Vitaly Golovatyu from Russia for a composition composed of 43 photos of Hong Kong.

Michał Sadowski with the audience award

This is not the end of good news for Poles. Among the creators honored in the SkyPixel 2018 competition by the audience, Michał Sadowski found himself.

Many readers of Spider's Web can associate Michał Sadowski not with photography, but as an active social media brand24 founder who successfully creates an application for monitoring the Internet. Meanwhile, Sadowski's second passion for business is photography and filming.

The creator from Wrocław has been traveling a lot for a few years, but he also shoots a lot locally in Poland. He photographed the A6500 with mirrorless camera from the ground, and uses the drone DJI Mavic Pro 2 in the air. His profile follows almost 44 thousand on Instagram . people, and the awarded photo liked nearly 60,000 people.

It took me 8 months to take this picture. This is a combination of two similar shots taken in the same place. One was established last December, the second in August. I'm really proud of the result. It's a battle between summer and winter - Sadowski writes on Instagram.
