Congratulations to Julia Mukheibir from Port Elizabeth Camera Club
Julia is our October winner with “Minutes before the storm“
I took this image on the Alexandria dune field in September this year. The dune field is remarkable – it is the largest dune field in the Southern Hemisphere and is about 80km long and up to 5km wide in places. It is immense and incredibly beautiful. The day I took this was one of the worst days we had this year – the weather was appalling – it was around 5:30 pm and it had been raining heavily the day before, it was bitterly cold (only about 12 degrees C) and the wind was voracious. The clouds were building up and the light was fading quickly but I stayed out there, braving the weather and hoping for something special. I was rewarded with this soft light (very briefly) which emphasised the patterns in the sand and the sand being blown across the dunes. Within minutes the clouds moved over, the thunder started and it started pouring with rain. I literally took three or four shots and hiked back off the dunes.

HOW DOES THIS COMPETITION WORK?

For the Senior Club Competition Winner of the Month, a club representative (ideally the Chairperson) submits the Senior club winner via Photovault at www.photovaultonline.com.
