Caught in the Act
This incredible photograph required a lot of patience – and great timing – from Blake Marvin, who is from the US. He used an iPhone XS Max, and with this phone’s zero shutter lag and smart HDR, both the raccoon’s eyes and the shadows inside the log have been captured.
Previously, this would have been almost impossible using only natural light. Judge Phil Schiller says: “A nice use of black and white, the focus on the raccoon, and the inside of the hollow log provides an organic movement frozen in time.”
