Category: “Patterns and Colors in Agriculture”
Chris, a keen photographer, has been with the company since 1982. His love of photography started with a 35mm SLR camera, later moving on to a point-and-shoot digital camera. “About four years ago, I bought a DSLR. My favorite subjects are landscapes, architecture and family portraits” explains Chris.
“The landscape photo I submitted comes from near the village where I live in Switzerland, not far from Stein. It's a simple image illustrating the effect of traditional agriculture (cereals, cherry trees, etc.) on the local landscape. I took it with a 10.5mm fisheye lens” says Chris.
