Finalist – Mass Action –
In northern Kenya, we took a flight in a Cessna 206 (with the doors off) via the Seguta Valley up to Lake Turkana. The sodium compounds in the water and searing temperatures provide the
perfect conditions for the proliferation of algae. Lesser flamingos thrive in this water due to the abundance of food. From the air the kaleidoscope of colours and hues of green, yellow, pink and red were very striking. Photographic conditions were extremely
challenging, though, as strong winds and the speed and vibration of the aircraft allowed only seconds to compose, focus and shoot.
