Nisi Filter Competition – Winners
Thank you to everyone who joined in on our Nisi Filter competition. We had some great entries, and it was really hard for us to pick what we thought was the best. Please remember these are ‘our’ favourites and in this subjective world of photography, your favourites are just as valid as ours. To see all entries, please search for the tag #tsopandnisi on Instagram.
As a reminder and for those that don’t know, the theme of the competition was sunsets. We wanted to see any photos that have been inspired or enhanced by a sunset. Photographers were to get out there and get creative with the beautiful light sunsets give. To enter all you had to do was follow us on Instagram and add the tag #tsopandnisi on your shots.
We have then judged what we think are the best and the winner will be sent the Nisi V6 landscape Circular Polarizer Kit, worth £189.
We’ve chosen 4 runner up shots and of course our winning entry. Congratulations to all that entered, take a look at our winning choices below.
