Browse some of the dramatic and amazing winning photographs in the prestigious Nature TTL Photographer of the Year competition.
Great photos can tell us stories about nature that words alone can’t convey. The winning entries in this year's competition prove that, as far as nature is concerned, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Celebrating the beauty of the world around us, over 8,000 images were entered into this year’s competition, with nature photographers from all around the world vying for the £1,500 ($1,840) prize money.
Here are a handful of OGN's favourites, but if you would like to see all the prize winners and runners-up, head over to Nature TTL to take a look.
Thomas Vijayan from Canada won the competition’s Overall Prize for the hauntingly beautiful image, Austfonna Ice Cap, the world’s third-largest ice cap. The composition, which is made up of 36 stitched-together images, also took first prize in the Landscape category.
An intriguing image that made use of the light from traffic signals was Fading Away by Robert Gloeckner of the US. In it, he captures the reflection of a great blue heron in water lit by the green of a traffic light. He used intentional camera movement to create a fading perspective.
Bence Mate took a unique approach to capturing this eerily beautiful image of a wild boar against the immense splendour of the Milky Way by using a remote-controlled camera placed inside a fish tank.
Next year’s Nature TTL Photographer of the Year competition will be open for entries in January 2024.
