Finalist - Star Troopers - I was keen to try out some astrophotography for the first time when friends and I did the hike through the Fish River Canyon. The final day rewarded my efforts. It was windy so I dug the legs of my tripod deeply into the sand, set my lens to infinity and, voilà! This is our group, swept away in a sea of stars. The photo is a panoramic stitch of two images. – By JoAnne Lynne Brand, Windhoek Nikon D810, Nikkor 24-70mm, ISO 5000, f/2.8, 1/20 sec
