With the return of the Sigma D-Photo Amateur Photographer of the Year for 2019, we’re also bringing back the ‘Our Picks’ series we ran last year, where the team at D-Photo chooses some standout entries to share for your viewing pleasure — and as inspiration to get your own photos out there.
So far, photographers from around the country have entered more than 1000 photographs — a number that increases daily. View all of the entries and enter your own at apoty2019.dphotomag.wpengine.com.
