Photographer Beth Mancuso is the winner of the Alpha Female+ Landscape Photo Contest and a new Sony ZV-1.
“I shot this image at the Sand Dunes State Forest in Minnesota. The forest is really close to my home and it's my favorite place to visit after a fresh snowfall,” explains Mancuso.
“I really wanted to show how grand these trees are so I put on my widest lens, a 14mm. To help show the scale, I put myself in the frame by attaching my Sony α7 III to a tripod and using the built-in intervalometer. While I was there the wind was knocking the snow from the trees and it created the most magical snow globe scene. I wanted to recreate that feeling in my image, so I added a video effect to the still image. My camera settings were: 1/320-sec., f/9, ISO 250.”
