2005: The Eric Hosking Portfolio Award - Winner
Bence Máté (Hungary)
Transylvania in autumn
After five days of rain over the Bihari Hills in Romania, the dark clouds parted slightly, and the late-afternoon sun lit up the autumn trees. "I had no more than a few minutes to take photographs, but I took more shots then than during the rest of the trip," says Bence. "The dark clouds contrasted sharply with the sunlit hillside, emphasising the colour-saturated forest."
Nikon 8008s with Nikon 105mm f2.8 lens; 1/125 sec at f4; Fujichrome Velvia 50.
