HOW TO ENTER
The competition is open to everyone, whether amateur or professional, and you are
free to interpret the theme in any way you choose. Naturally we are happy to see shots of
baubles, trees and lights, but we also want pictures that show the creative potential of the
season in general, so feel free to submit winter landscapes, indoor portraits, frosty flora
and fauna, etc. If you think you have something suitable on file, great; if not have a go at
shooting something for the competition. To enter, upload your image(s) to the Photocrowd

Chinese lens maker Venus Optics was as wildly creative as ever, with an array
of new Laowa manual focus lenses on display. Micro Four Thirds shooters were
particularly well served, with a minuscule 4mm f/2.8 circular fisheye joined by
compact 9mm f/2.8, 12mm f/1.8 and 17mm f/1.8 primes. At the other end of
the sensor-size scale, the firm unveiled a 17mm f/4 wideangle prime for Fujifilm

distortion. Its 21-element, 14-group construction suggests that it’s essentially

Also on view was the world’s widest-angle full-frame zoom, the remarkably
compact Laowa 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 FE Zoom, which even accepts screw-in
37mm filters behind the rear element. Macro enthusiasts were served by
the 100mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO, which is capable of twice-life-size
magnification and, in a first for Venus Optics, includes automatic aperture
setting on the Canon EF-mount version. The show-stopping 25mm f/14 Macro

If you’re shooting a landscape, wildlife or street photography, whether in the UK or abroad, the risk of
thet is always present. Accidents can also happen, whether its your fault or someone else’s – dropping
a lens or knocking over a tripod are easy but can be expensive mistakes to make.
As well as human error, there’s mother nature to deal with too – rain, sand, sea and temperature all
have the potential to damage your kit in the pursuit of the perfect shot.

threaten your photography:
