The winners of the
#YearInSport photo contest are here!
The judges had a hard time selecting a winner in the off-road category but this shot from Austin O’Connor (
@oco_photo) stood out. Taken in Yosemite National Park it truly captures the breathtaking scale of the landscape. Kudos, Austin!
“I was having the trip of a lifetime. I'd never been to Yosemite before, and after three straight days of grueling hikes, my knees needed a bit of a break. I decided to hike to Taft Point for a bit less strain, and all of a sudden there it was - the photo op of a lifetime. I'd imagined that my best photos would come from the most remote, off-the-beaten-path areas of the park, but I quickly realized all it took was a bit of luck (and some atmospheric help from the sunset and the smoke) for the perfect shot. The feeling of elation while shooting a photo like this is unmatched.”
