The GDT Winning Nature Photos Of 2020 Have Been Selected And They Are Just Awesome.
They say that nature is the greatest artist. But besides that, nature is also the greatest inspiration for other artists. For a long time now, painters and musicians have found their inspiration for their works amid nature. In modern times, we have artists such as photographers, who go around the world and try to capture natural breathtaking moments.
It is almost impossible for a photographer to go out in nature and not find a source of inspiration that will make him grab his camera and try to take a perfect shot of the moment.
The German Society for Nature Photography has just organized an event called The Nature Photographer of The Year 2020. In the past voters would go in a meeting but due to Coronavirus, this year the meeting was held online.
Voters got to see photos from the seven different categories from Plants and Fungi to Mammals, Birds, Landscapes, Nature’s Studio, Water, and Other Animals.
In total, more than 5,000 photos entered the competition but only 70 of them were chosen as winners, (10 photos for each category). The winners got to win generous prices that they deserve since their photos are awesome. You can check them out below.
