EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Wider Image: Kazakhstan's Singing Sands" transports viewers to the mesmerizing beauty of Altyn-Emel national park in Almaty region, Kazakhstan. Taken on May 13,2016, by photographer Shamil Zhumatov, the image showcases a stunning long exposure photograph capturing star trails in the night sky over a campsite. In this low angle view, we are immersed in an otherworldly scene where the universe reveals its secrets. The Milky Way stretches across the vast expanse above while a zoom burst effect adds dynamism and movement to the picture. The silhouette of a lone tree stands against the horizon line as if reaching out to touch the stars. The creative use of light lighting and long exposure techniques creates ethereal light trails that dance through space like shooting stars. With no people present, nature takes center stage as it basks in its picturesque glory. This composition reminds us of our place within this grand cosmos and evokes feelings of awe and wonder. As we gaze at this breathtaking sight, we can almost hear the singing sands whisper their ancient melodies carried by gentle breezes under an expansive sky filled with countless celestial bodies. It is a reminder that even amidst our busy lives, there is still beauty to be found in nature's embrace and solace beneath starry nights.
