               wonders of nature

May 1st - July 31st, 2009                                    

       

in cooperation with:

Our Nature has become one of the central and most important issues in our society. Environmental protection, climate change and natural disaster, to name a few, are constantly discussed around us. Did human-hand change the nature around us so rapidly during the past 50 years or is it the constantly recurring course of time?

Our environment shows us stunning moments of time which we admire and cannot forget.

This is the reason why our magazine NATURFOTO (NATURE PHOTO) wants to focus on these nature spectactles and wonders of nature in a special competition.

       

Each region of the world has its very own nature phenomenon: sandstorms in Africa, the polar lights at the North Pole, hurricans in the sea and summer storms in Germany.

The animal kingdom is full of an astonishing diversity, worth to be captured: a swarm of migratory birds on its way south, a brown bear in Norway hunting for salmon in a river or a spider´s web full of dew on a balcony.

The wonders of nature start right outside of your house! Take your camera and capture the most beautiful moments for this competition. 

  




This time, the first prize is a Sony Alpha DSLR-A200k. The second prize is the Sony Cyber-Shot™ DCS-W210. Additionally, you can win coupons from MyPhotobook for your individual photobook, poster or calendar.
