So, the first competition “Russian Landscape” has ended! We wrote about its conditions in detail in issue 1-2 of 2011. Let us remind you: the competition is divided into two main categories - “Landscape Photographer of the Year” and “Young Landscape Photographer of the Year” (for those who were under 18 years old at the time of the deadline for accepting works). Each nomination includes 4 categories: “Classical landscape”, “My landscape”, “Man and landscape”, “Architectural landscape”. The jury members of the competition are world-famous landscape photographers. 50 of the best works take part in an open street exhibition, which takes place in the center of Moscow from September 1 to October 15. Simultaneously with the start of the Moscow exhibition, the final album of the competition “Landscape Photographer of the Year 2011” went on sale, which included more than 140 photographs telling about the beautiful views of our country. We sincerely congratulate the winners and wish them a long and successful union with the fascinating world of photography!

There is a lake region in the Russian expanses - Meshchera near Moscow. Of all the lakes located here, the largest are Shatursky, they are located on the watershed of the Ushma and Poli rivers. Fishing is going on here all year round, fortunately there is plenty of fish in the lakes. Each season is beautiful in its own way, but on the Shatura lakes it is winter that appears in all its glory: steam from warm water on especially frosty days forms abundant frost on tree branches, turning the shores into a real crystal kingdom. What a pleasure it is to walk around the lakes on such a frosty morning!

Winner in the category "Landscape Photographer of the Year"
Alexander Ermolitsky."Silence of Stones" Krasnoyarsk Territory, Ergaki Natural Park, Dream Lake. August 2010.

Huge outlier stones overgrown with trees, towering above the surface of Lake Mechta. Noon, fog, calm. In summer, groups of tourists pass by this place almost every day, but not everyone notices the charm of this small mountain lake.

That day I decided to go skiing and, of course, took my camera with me. There was a tree next to the highway; that day it was beautifully framed by clouds. The difficulty was that it was severely frosty, and we also had to walk for several meters through snowdrifts, almost waist-deep in snow. Well, in order for the sun to hit the center of the crown and to create a more expressive perspective due to the shadows from the tree, I also had to lie in the snow. Due to my position, the clouds dropped to the horizon when I took the picture, making the photo a little unrealistic, but no less beautiful.

Conditions for shooting are not entirely suitable. To find a more convenient point, I had to use rock climbing skills and go down just below the ridge. We waited for a light window, the jump was postponed. I notice from his voice that Alexey is nervous. As a former athlete myself, I understand how sometimes an unexpected delay in the start can be frustrating. I'm trying to calm him down and convince him that for nice photo Not only the jump itself is important, but also the light. Finally, when light windows appear for a short moment, I command: “It’s possible.” Lesha goes to the breakaway point. I hear him say in a slightly shrunken voice: “See you!” That's it, let's go!.. In this case, mutual understanding between the athlete and the photographer turned out to be very important.

Of all the excitement that preceded my first meeting with Chukotka, I now remember one thing: what is it like to fly against time?! I didn’t know in advance that other reference points, so basic, would blur. Tundra, the Arctic, however, we measure distance in days, time itself loses its meaning. There is permafrost, and a blow from the ocean along the riverbed - here you have a dust storm, the strings of your hat knock out your eyes, your backpack gets covered in sand at an hour... There are no usual landmarks, the clouds are like lentils.
Soon I got used to botany and climbed into the topology: a mound that stuck out not far from the tundra, around which the sunset light painted patches of fog and which I did not try to reach - Mount Keinyney, almost six hundred in height. A month later, I began to understand something: there are very old mountains here, there is no need to surprise them. Everything here is “before”, and typical Moscow news usually hasn’t happened yet. Yes, flying to Chukotka means reliably getting younger, and most importantly (I’ll say it beautifully): I left my dream in the heavenly lentils that keep the color of the sunset like a cloud.
...And those half a day that was away on the flight “here” by plane remained a cheerful pit, and the sleep of the double return journey did not patch it up...

I am very attracted to the architecture of St. Petersburg courtyards, their originality and graphic nature. If a city has a face, it is here, and the expression of feelings, flight, movement, integrity are those emotions that inspire creativity.

Winner in the category “Young Landscape Photographer of the Year”
Anastasia Iskantseva,
photo studio "Lyceum". "Lace".
Moscow. December 2010.

It's not so easy to photograph all this splendor. It was necessary to wait for that time of day when the silver web sparkled and sparkled, receiving the necessary lighting, helping me convey all the beauty of winter lace.

Autumn... The time of year when nature transforms and changes color. Many artists, poets, and musicians were inspired by the theme of autumn. She touched me too. I wandered around the autumn park with a camera. There was a desire to capture the flight of leaves from a gust of wind, and after several failures I succeeded. The whole difficulty of shooting was to select the necessary parameters, and to find appropriate place in Moscow.

This photo was taken almost a year ago, when I was traveling through the Middle Urals. While in Nevyansk, I climbed the tower of the merchant Demidov and decided to photograph the view that opened up to me. Focusing the camera on the dome of the bell tower of the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, I saw the smoking chimneys of the plant in the distance. By shifting the angle a little, I managed to create an interesting, in my opinion, frame, where the plant is visible in the background, and the dome of the bell tower is in the foreground. The picture was taken a few minutes before the thunderstorm began.

After the hot summer of 2010, I really wanted winter... And here it is November, wet snow. I saw this shot - people struggling to follow each other, as if in defiance of the elements... and I pressed the trigger.

After viewing these majestic landscapes, you might be itching to visit the UK. It's not surprising, because it's -best works British photographers who capture and impress.
