SAR reader Anton just sent me the good news:

Hi,
Placed top 50 in the architecture category in the Sony World Photography Awards with a wedding photo! Feel free to share if you want to.. Shot on a [shoplink 56073]Sony A7II[/shoplink] with a [shoplink 56074]Sony FE 28mm F2[/shoplink]. So it doesn’t have to be expensive equipment 😉 High web-res in the we-transfer if you want it.  FB facebook.com/byzeuthen  Instagram: instagram.com/byzeuthen

UPDATE: SAR reader Josselin Cornou (instagram.com/untitledshot) also made it intothe top 10 Nature of the world photo awards:

“In March 2016, I headed to the Antarctic Peninsula, as part of an expedition with explorer Robert Swan. On our way to the 66th parallel south, our boat was navigating in silence through 30 metre (100 feet) high tabular icebergs that were once part of the Larsen Ice Shelf. Those mesmerising structures were displaying subzero icy corridors, forming a highly photogenic gargantuan maze. The scene was magnificent, but also incredibly scary. I took my camera, I had to show the world the impact that global warming has had. Equipped with a 70-200mm, I started to play with the magnificent landscape around me, trying to display the geometric magnificence of those structures. After envisioning the shot, I had to wait the right moment, and had only a few seconds to get it right.”

UPDATE_2: Also SAR reader Luis Pina got selected:

I wanted also to share with you that I was placed in the top 50 on the Architecture Category on the Sony World Photography Awards 2017 with a photo from the Stuttgart Library. Go SAR Readers!

Eddie: “For over 3 years my girlfriend and I have been working on this film. We started the project using Canon cameras, but as soon as the Sony A7 series was released we switched. Shooting was done with Sony A7s, Sony A7r & RX-10 & Sony Zeiss 16-35, Sony 28-70 & Sony 90mm Macro. I would be thrilled if you would share it with your readers, which I am an avid one 🙂
