The drone surprised me by still being functional after 30 minutes of downpour. I took 700 photos with the same composition, of which more than 40 captured lightning. This photo is my favorite, as the lightning flashing in the middle illuminates the layers of the mountains.” Competition Curator, David Evans, said, “Momentum continues to build from entrants in Southeast Asia, and also Asia more broadly. We are thrilled to have Epson Southeast Asia on board as a joint major sponsor with Epson Australia, and given the increasing interest year on year from this dynamic region, the timing could not be better. The quality of entries is astounding, and I am endlessly fascinated by the spectacular windows to the world presented by highly talented photographers far and wide.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
