At Lake Amboseli, Kenya, we were out on a late afternoon game drive. The sun was setting and we were rushing to find a perfect spot to photograph the sunset. We finally settled on this flock of flamingos in shallow water against the beautiful Sunset.

"Tale of 2 brothers.
Chasing the wild means being ready for the unexpected and hoping that the stars align for a perfect story. Most of the time we don't succeed but there are moments when we are rewarded with scenes like these: Cheetah brothers reinforcing their bonds in the Mara plains."

"It's the last day of 2023! Recapping the challenging but most rewarding trip of the year in Bashang Grassland 坝上草原. 6+ hrs drive from Beijing bordering areas of Inner Mongolia. Catching a light hearted moment together as each local expresses a different happy emotion."

master the chase Light

Grand winner

@ach.pix

"The most memorable experience of our Abu Dhabi trip was to spend a night somewhere on the dunes of Liwa desert far away from civilization, in a simple tent with open net top, lulled to sleep by millions of stars and serenity.

This star trail is the combination of 386 frames taken in duration of over 3 hours. We chose to go at start of new moon for darker sky, but there is light pollution. Do you know that the star trail pattern can differ depending on which hemisphere you are at and the direction you point your camera?"
