Huynh Jet, “Hats Off”, National Geographic
“I was drawn to an older woman who was working very hard on crafting these hats,” writes Huynh Jet, who captured this photo in a traditional dwelling in Duc Hoa, Long An Province, Vietnam. “I climbed on a ladder and stood there until I caught the moment when she put the threads into the hat. A big traditional family in Long An has made and sold hats for over a hundred years.”

“I took this photo in July 2014 at Trollstigen in Norway. Standing there alone in the fog, I was waiting for the view to become clear. And then it happened, the fog disappeared and though it was 1 am already, one car came slowly up the steep serpentines. It was my dream for a long time to take a photo of lighttrails like this in Norway – and it was just an awesome feeling that it worked out on the most beautiful and famous street. A few minutes later the fog returned, even thicker than before.” – Christoph Schaarschmidt
