#OnTheRoad Photo Contest Winners

Posted on by

Congratulations to our three #OnTheRoad winners, James Ng, Robb Image, and Iain McLean! Deciding among so many awesome finds was a tough task for Trover Ambassador’s Love + Road!  The hypnotic highway, isolated crossroads & famous lone tree stood out as beautiful photos and unique travel insights! See the images below and get in-depth details from the photographers behind the lens.

Kawazu Nanadaru Loop Bridge

James Ng’s #OnTheRoad Discovery from Japan

“The photo was taken during my journey to see the earliest blossom of Sakura in Japan. I saw a video about this circular loop bridge while searching information on the internet and I thought it would be really awesome if I took a photo from above it with my drone. In fact, the design of the road was great and so I shared it on Trover.” – James Ng

Robb Image’s #OnTheRoad Discovery from Nevada

“Open spaces and the open road speak to me in the sense that they are similar to an ongoing movie. Like a thriller where you are anticipating what’s around the next bend, it’s the anticipation. Capturing the open nothingness is a bit harder to express in an interesting manner. Like a muse the scene just has to unfold, if you allow your inner vision to happen, trust your art and extinct. I really try to see the light, it’s one of the few times when harsh sunlight can help a composition, setting the scene is like trying to tell a story about nothing. Which is completely different than the vastness of nature as in a typical landscape.” – Robb Image

That Wanaka Tree

Iain McLean’s #OnTheRoad Discovery from New Zealand.

“The Tree at Lake Wanaka is actually a bucket list shot for me. On our current road trip around New Zealand I actually looked forward to this 6am wake up the most. The tranquil calmness, colours of sunrise and the strange placement of this tree bring a feeling of relaxation I cannot describe.” – Iain McLean

John Clark’s winning #Perspectives discovery from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

One of the largest art museums in the United States, the Milwaukee Art Museum welcomes visitors with soaring ceilings and swooping lines designed by Santiago Calatrava. We’re mesmerized by John’s captivating perspective highlighting the grand scale and dynamic design of this gorgeous building. John notes “Inside the Milwaukee Art Museum is the magnificent cathedral-like space of Windhover Hall, with a vaulted 90-foot-high glass ceiling that overlooks the harbor entrance and Lake Michigan. Awash in white with marble flooring, this open area serves as the gateway to the Museum.” Thank you, John, for sharing this impressive architecture and your travel perspectives!
