Week 1: top entries from Expect #theUnexpected photo competition

Posted by Kati Auld on 1 April 2014

All sorts of weird things happen when you’re travelling – and if you really want to capture them, there often isn’t time to reach for the camera bag. That’s what your smartphone is for!

 

We’re giving away three Manfrotto Klyps with Orms as part of the Expect #theUnexpected photo competition. What’s a Klyp, you say? This is a Klyp! The competition has been running for a week (you can enter here), and we’ve had some awesome submissions already …

10. Dave Punam: “I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to view the late Nelson Mandela’s body as it lay in state at the Union Buildings in December last year. I have never seen so many people in my entire life! I did not expect the thousands & thousands of people that I saw! It was AMAZING! It was an experience I will NEVER forget! I managed to quickly snap this panoramic shot with my iPhone as we were waiting in the spiraling line to view Tata Madiba’s body.”

expect the unexpected, madiba
