天津大爆炸航拍照片獲國際攝影大獎

The Beijing News reporter Chen Jie has been awarded third prize in the General News singles category of the 59th World Press Photo competition for "Tianjin Explosion," an aerial shot portraying the destruction after an explosion in the city.

《新京報》記者陳杰憑藉作品《天津爆炸》近日獲得了第59屆世界新聞攝影比賽一般新聞類單幅的三等獎。《天津爆炸》是一幅航拍作品，展現了天津爆炸後受損景象。

Chen said the advantage of aerial photography is that shots from above encompass a grand view.

陳杰表示，航空攝影的優點是來自上方的鏡頭可以高度概括這一震撼的景象。

"What we need to do is to deliver information from different angles through multiple channels, namely smart phones, cameras, or even digital aerial cameras," said Chen.

陳杰說：“我們需要做的就是通過諸如智能手機、相機、航拍機等在內的多種途徑、從不同的視角將信息呈現出來。”

He also said photographers don't need to worry about the device and media, as long as they can deliver effective and truthful messages.

此外他還表示，攝影者不用去在意是用什麼設備和媒體進行拍攝的，只要他們能傳送出有效的、真實的消息就可以了。

He called for photographers to embrace new techniques to capture rare and precious images. "Journalists, photographers, and sociologists should also continue to examine new subjects with academic purpose and critical consciousness," said Chen.

他還呼籲攝影者利用新技術捕捉珍貴的圖片。“記者、攝影師和社會學家也應該抱着批判意識、追求學術目的的心態繼續認知新的事物。”陳杰如是說。

The top images were selected from 82,951 photos captured by 5,775 photographers from more than 128 countries.

本屆所有獲獎圖片是從超過128個不同國家、5775名攝影師投稿的82951幅作品中選出的。

Top prize went to Australian photographer Warren Richardson for his photo "Hope for a New Life", of a refugee passing a baby through the fence at the Hungarian-Serbian border. "Haze in China", an image captured by another Chinese photographer named Zhang Lei, has won first prize singles in the Contemporary Issues category.

最高獎項被澳大利亞攝影師瓦倫·理查森奪得，他的作品《新生活的希望》記錄了匈牙利塞爾維亞邊境難民將嬰兒從鐵絲網中遞過的瞬間。另一位中國攝影師張磊憑藉作品《霧霾中國》獲當代熱點類單幅一等獎。
