Striking Landscape by Laurence Connor
Captured during a rare and dramatic weather event in the Little Karoo, this photograph documents the first rainfall in months following a grueling period of 38˚C heat. Seeking shelter beneath a raincoat, the photographer seized the opportunity to document the intense lightning storm that transformed the arid landscape. The image is award-worthy for its raw capture of atmospheric power and the photographer's persistence in challenging conditions. By balancing the technical demands of a long exposure with the unpredictable nature of a lightning strike, the composition conveys both the fragility and the resilience of the South African wilderness.
