Gold Award, 2 Silver Awards in the EPSON Photography Awards 2020

10/23/2020

I never had the courage to send my panoramic photos into any contest because I think that the winner photographs are always better than mine.
But this time I had a few photos in my portfolio that could possible receive an Award so I decided to take part of the EPSON Pano Awards.
Now, after a few months, the results have been published!
My five entries have received an award:
"Center of the galaxy" has received a Gold Award,
"Inside the cave" & "Triangle Station" have received a Silver Award,
"Zen origins" & "The lamp" have received a Bronze Award.
Center of the galaxy was a photo that I took in 2019 during an amazing adventure in company of Alessandro Calandra and Gabriele Maida on the Italian Dolomites!
