Havada bir yusufçuğu yakalayan kurbağa, karanlıkta karşı karşıya gelen kutup ayıları ve vahşi doğanın en beklenmedik anları… NANPA Showcase 2027'nin ödüllü fotoğrafları açıklandı. Dünyanın dört bir yanından doğa ve yaban hayatı fotoğrafçılarının etkileyici çalışmaları, yaşamın güzelliğini, mücadelesini ve kimi zaman şaşırtıcı mizahını gözler önüne seriyor.

Kuzey Amerika Doğa Fotoğrafçılığı Derneği ([NANPA](https://www.sanalsergi.com/tag/nanpa/)), her yıl düzenlediği NANPA Showcase yarışmasının 2027 yılı için ödül kazanan fotoğraflarını açıkladı. Dünyanın dört bir yanından etkileyici yaban hayatı anlarını, büyüleyici manzaraları ve doğanın olağanüstü güzelliğini gözler önüne seren fotoğraflar, bu yıl da dikkat çekici bir seçki oluşturuyor.

## Yarışmanın En İyi Fotoğrafı

Bu yılın *Best in Show* (Yarışmanın En İyisi) ödülünü, Teksas merkezli doğa ve yaban hayatı fotoğrafçısı Cissy Beasley kazandı. Beasley'nin ödül alan fotoğrafında bir kurbağa, havada uçan yusufçuğu yakaladığı anda görülüyor. Havada asılı kalmış su damlacıkları ve kurbağanın etkileyici duruşuyla fotoğraf, olağanüstü bir zamanlamanın ürünü.

Beasley, fotoğrafın çekildiği anı şöyle anlatıyor: “Kırsaldaki bir göletin yanında otururken, oldukça atılgan ve hırslı bir leopar kurbağasının bir dala konmuş ya da havada uçan yusufçukları yakalamak için tekrar tekrar sıçradığını izledik. Sonunda uzun ve yapışkan diliyle bir Doğu gölet yusufçuğunu yakalamayı başardı.”

Beasley'nin fotoğrafı, aynı zamanda Makro / Mikro / Diğer kategorisinin de birincisi oldu.

## NANPA Showcase 2027 Kategori Kazananları

Cissy Beasley'nin yarışmanın en büyük ödülünü kazanmasının yanı sıra NANPA Showcase 2027'de, sekiz kategoride dereceye giren çalışmaların da aralarında bulunduğu 249 fotoğraf daha ödüllendirildi.

Kazananların tamamına [NANPA'nın resmî internet sitesinden](https://nanpa.org/2027-showcase-winners/) ulaşılabiliyor.

### Kuşlar (Birds)

Kuşlar kategorisinin birincisi Charles Janson oldu. Janson'ın aksiyon dolu fotoğrafında, erkek bir ibibik gagalı ağaçkakanın (Pileated Woodpecker) kurumuş bir Ponderosa çamının gövdesine vurduğu sırada etrafa saçılan ağaç parçaları görülüyor.

### Memeliler (Mammals)

Memeliler kategorisinin bu yılki kazananı Kevin Lohman oldu. Lohman'ın ödüllü fotoğrafı, Kanada'nın Manitoba eyaletindeki Churchill bölgesinde karşı karşıya gelen iki kutup ayısını etkileyici bir ters ışık altında gösteriyor. Ortaya son derece güçlü bir silüet çıkmış.

### Manzaralar ('Scapes)

İngilizce *landscapes* kelimesinin kısaltması olan 'Scapes kategorisinde birincilik, John Benford'un Yellowstone Ulusal Parkı'ndaki Castle Gayzeri'ni gece fotoğrafladığı çalışmasına verildi.

### Makro / Mikro / Diğer (Macro / Micro / All Other)

Yarışmanın en büyük ödülünü kazanan Cissy Beasley, Makro / Mikro / Diğer kategorisinde de birinciliğe layık görüldü. Beasley'nin ödüllü fotoğrafı, bu kategorinin ikincisi ve jüri tarafından seçilen iki fotoğrafla birlikte aşağıda yeniden yer alıyor.

### Doğa Koruma (Conservation)

Doğa Koruma kategorisi bu yıl birbirinden oldukça farklı duygular uyandıran fotoğraflara sahne oldu. Ödül alan bazı çalışmalar umut verici görüntüler sunarken Graham Gerdeman'ın birincilik kazanan fotoğrafı, Tennessee'nin Nashville kentindeki bir mezarlıkta, su birikintisinin içinde yüzüstü yatan ölü bir Virginia puhusunu gösteriyor. Aynı bölgede bu şekilde ölü bulunan ikinci puhu olması dikkat çekici. Mezarlık sanayi tesislerine yakın olmasına rağmen kuşlara ölüm nedenini belirlemek için nekropsi yapılmadı.

### Değiştirilmiş Gerçeklik (Altered Reality)

Değiştirilmiş Gerçeklik kategorisi, fotoğrafçılığa yaratıcı yaklaşımları teşvik ediyor. Dave Hattori'nin birincilik kazanan fotoğrafı, sanatsal özel efektler oluşturmak amacıyla Photoshop'ta yoğun biçimde düzenlenmiş. İkinci olan çalışma ise Norveç'teki sümsük kuşlarının düzenli uçuş hareketlerini gösteren 139 fotoğrafın birleştirilmesiyle oluşturulmuş bir kompozit görüntü.

### Komedi / Mizah (Comedy / Humor)

Nikon Comedy Wildlife Awards gibi yalnızca komik yaban hayatı fotoğraflarına odaklanmasa da NANPA Showcase, bu kategoride oldukça eğlenceli anlara yer veriyor. Kevin Lohman'ın bu yıl birincilik kazanan fotoğrafında, yedi haftalık bir Virginia puhusu yavrusu, kendisine doğru sıçrayan gri bir sincabı şaşkınlıkla karşılıyor. Lohman, yavru puhunun daldan düştüğünü ancak neyse ki zarar görmediğini belirtiyor.

### Fotoğraf Serileri (Series)

Diğer kategoriler tek fotoğraflık başvurulara odaklanırken Fotoğraf Serileri kategorisinde katılımcılardan belirli bir konuyu ele alan yedi fotoğraf sunmaları isteniyor. Bu yıl Parham Pourahmad'ın birincilik kazanan serisi, San Francisco Körfez Bölgesi'nde yaşayan çakalların kent yaşamına ve kentsel yaşam alanlarına nasıl uyum sağladığını anlatıyor. Pourahmad'ın yedi fotoğrafının yanı sıra diğer üç ödüllü serinin yedişer fotoğrafı da aşağıda yer alıyor.

“A Yellowstone Winter Story: Predator, Then Prey,” image 7 of 7, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. © Jerry Jividen | Series, First Runner-Up | NANPA Showcase 2027. During two weeks in Yellowstone National Park in winter, I photographed a remarkable sequence of encounters that revealed how quickly the roles of predator and prey can change. Across several days, three species, a vole, an ermine, and a coyote, became connected through a story of hunting, survival, and predation. The saga began with an ermine hunting in Yellowstone’s interior. I watched and photographed as it moved rapidly over the snow and ice, pausing and searching for prey hidden beneath the snowpack. Suddenly, the ermine disappeared beneath the snow. Moments later, it emerged carrying a vole in its mouth and quickly moved away with its catch.](https://www.sanalsergi.com/icerik/uploads/2026/11/30-7_Series_First-Runner-Up_A-Yellowstone-Winter-Story-Predator-Then-Prey_7-of-7_c-Jerry-Jividen_NANPA-Showcase-2027-1160x770.webp)

From above, the lakes of Magadi and Natron reveal an extraordinary exchange between geology and life. Minerals, algae, water, and sediment create shifting fields of blue, pink, rust, and gold. These same alkaline waters support the microscopic life that draws vast numbers of flamingos here to feed. The colors and the birds are not separate phenomena, but expressions of the same ecosystem. The flamingos, in turn, leave their own marks upon it. As they wade and feed, they draw delicate lines through the sediment; gathered by the thousands, their bodies become patterns of their own; in flight, they cross above the traces left behind below. Across the series, scale shifts between individual bird, flock, pattern, and the larger forms of the lakes themselves. Seen from the air, the landscape is not simply a backdrop for the flamingos. It is the reason they are here—and through their movement, they become part of its design.](https://www.sanalsergi.com/icerik/uploads/2026/11/31-7_Series_Judges-Choice_From-Above-Flamingos-over-Lake-Magadi-and-Lake-Natron_7-of-7_c-Holly-Kirkland_NANPA-Showcase-2027-1160x773.webp)

“A Peregrine Falcon Breeding Season, Start to Finish,” image 1 of 7, Central Coast of California, San Mateo and Sonoma Counties. © Corey Raffel | Series, Judges’ Choice | NANPA Showcase 2027. The Peregrine Falcon population has largely recovered from the devastation caused by the use of the insecticide DDT in the 1960s. Many pairs of these raptors now nest in caves in cliffs along the California coast. While these falcons are said to mate for life, I think that calling them “breeding site loyal” is a better description. Pairs spend the time outside the breeding season separately but come together again at the breeding site at the start of the season in late winter. After the offspring have successfully fledged, the male and female again go off on their separate ways. During the breeding season, pairs of peregrines use an interwoven, yet flexible, set of behaviors that hopefully result in the successful production of independent offspring. Population growth continues as a result of these interactions between the parents with each other and with their offspring. I have spent hours of time watching and photographing three pairs of these raptors during the breeding season for the past seven years. All of these nest sites are in caves along the central coast of California from San Mateo County north to Sonoma County. This series shows activities of the breeding birds and their offspring from the beginning to the end of the breeding season.  The population growth of this once endangered species due to the banning of DDT and extensive conservation efforts also depends on the birds’ successful use of the behaviors illustrated here.](https://www.sanalsergi.com/icerik/uploads/2026/11/32-1_Series_Judges-Choice_A-Peregrine-Falcon-Breeding-Season-Start-to-Finish_1-of-7_c-Corey-Raffel_NANPA-Showcase-2027-1160x1740.webp)

After the offspring have successfully fledged, the male and female again go off on their separate ways. During the breeding season, pairs of peregrines use an interwoven, yet flexible, set of behaviors that hopefully result in the successful production of independent offspring. Population growth continues as a result of these interactions between the parents with each other and with their offspring. I have spent hours of time watching and photographing three pairs of these raptors during the breeding season for the past seven years. All of these nest sites are in caves along the central coast of California from San Mateo County north to Sonoma County. This series shows activities of the breeding birds and their offspring from the beginning to the end of the breeding season.  The population growth of this once endangered species due to the banning of DDT and extensive conservation efforts also depends on the birds’ successful use of the behaviors illustrated here.](https://www.sanalsergi.com/icerik/uploads/2026/11/32-6_Series_Judges-Choice_A-Peregrine-Falcon-Breeding-Season-Start-to-Finish_6-of-7_c-Corey-Raffel_NANPA-Showcase-2027-1160x773.webp)

“A Peregrine Falcon Breeding Season, Start to Finish,” image 7 of 7, Central Coast of California, San Mateo and Sonoma Counties. © Corey Raffel | Series, Judges’ Choice | NANPA Showcase 2027. The Peregrine Falcon population has largely recovered from the devastation caused by the use of the insecticide DDT in the 1960s. Many pairs of these raptors now nest in caves in cliffs along the California coast.
