The 102mp image, made on the Fujifilm GFX100RF (which I have reviewed), was processed in Adobe’s LightRoom Classic, with the Fujifilm Acros raw profile, on my Mac Studio using calibrated Eizo CG276 monitors.
Absolutely overjoyed to share some great news from today! The International Awards Associate (IAA), in unison with the European Photography Awards, have selected three of my photographs as Gold winners and seven other images as recipients of Honourable Mentions.
From the press release of the European Photography Awards; “Drawing an impressive number of entrants, the competition received over 3,500 submissions across 50 nations, including the United States, Germany, Italy, Canada, France, Australia, Spain, United Kingdom, Japan, Switzerland, Greece, Portugal, Sweden, and beyond, featuring its global appeal and presence.”
Many thanks to all the judges and congratulations to the winners and runners up. Here are the ten images, with captions and information on the equipment used.
As always, all the photographs were shot in raw and processed in Adobe’s Lightroom Classic, on either an Apple Mac Pro or Mac Studio, using calibrated Eizo CG276 monitors. In the commercial photography using lighting, I also always use a colour meter, to compensate for any colour temperature shifts brought forth by light diffusers and reflectors.
