«Your Shot»

Most recently, National Geographic launched a new initiative - a photo project, which can take part in any photographer, regardless of location and level of professionalism. The main thing - to perform a task.

The project is quite simple - to display the changing world around us. Our planet is really changing at an incredible rate, and keep track of all the changes is simply impossible. And we're not just talking about the nature or the impact of man on it. Look around - beskoneyanye wave of concrete and millions of cars in traffic jams. It comes to the fact that there is even such a proposal as a taxi in Moscow. Because otherwise in the metropolis it is already impossible to move around freely. But we got carried away. Changes there are positive. More than 10,000 photographers took part in the project and the number of participants continues to grow. As illustrative examples of the context of the project, National Geographic showed the most vivid images.
