#Summer picture wanted
On the occasion of Photography Day on August 19, c’t photography was also looking for the best #summer picture. The broad topic offers a lot of creative scope from colorful sunsets to detailed #macroshots to atmospheric #silhouette pictures. The editors have now selected the winning picture from the selected pictures: Congratulations to Torsten Straube and his photo of Germany’s only inland lighthouse.

Between all submissions, this picture finally convinced the editors. The wall, which begins at the right edge of the picture, directs the view to the center. That’s where the lighthouse stands and is illuminated centrally from behind at the perfect moment. This mixture of composition, light and perfect timing finally made the picture the #winning photo.
