Simone Miotto

I was born in Piedmont, in Italy in 1989. I've always loved nature and particularly alpine environment, this love soon developed into enjoying taking photographs of natural landscapes. I began taking pictures in some ways for fun, until I bought my first camera body, a small Nikon D40x, and started learning the first technical core issues of photography. After the beginning period of emphasis, in which every subject was a good one to be photographed, I realized that the most interesting to me was just natural landscape, which is still the genre I like best, even though I don't despise the others such as life portrait or naturalistic photography, which I'd like to approach soon. I adore taking pictures at dawn and at dusk, where the light is able to emphasize best the landscape I want to immortalize. My way of photographing is a continuing effort to improve, and I'm aware of how much there still is to discover and learn.

Photoburst is a photo of the day contest focusing on Travel Photography.

Everyday (from the 1st until the 28th), among all images uploaded by our contributors, we publish a photo of the day (POTD).
Every week (on the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th), among all POTDs of the preceding week, we select a photo of the week (POTW).
On the 30th we select the best POTW as photo of the month (POTM).
