The 2012 National Geographic Photography Contest ends on November 30th, and participants can submit photos in all or one of three categories: people, places and nature. The grand prize winner will win a $10,000 prize and a trip to the National Geographic headquarters in Washington, DC. Here is a look at a few of the many breathtaking entries. During a lovely morning in July I was out photographing Great White Sharks in False Bay, South Africa. We had two days when the sea was so still you could barely see a ripple.

This image is an outcome of my decision to captured this action. I spent almost 10 days (1 hr daily in the morning, sitting quietly and motionless) and on 25th Oct 2012 this was clicked. I am lucky to get this photograph just before skimming action starts. I like the concentration level in its eyes, wing position and open mouth ready to catch the insect by surprise and same action in reflection... (Photo and caption by Vinayak Parmar/National Geographic Photo Contest)  Fermented mares milk (Airag) is the traditional national beverage of Mongolia. The amount of milk produced by one mare averages about two litres when milked six times per day, so in order to make enough Airag for the family and any visitors, it is necessary to have at least a dozen mares. To get good quality Airag, it is necessary to stir the milk mix no less than 1,000 times each day! Produced during the summer months in a specially made hide skin bag, fresh Airag is quite mild but if kept for long enough it turns sour and acidic which is how many Mongolian's prefer it.

It's a scene which many thought only belongs to the sci-fi movies.

(Photo and caption by Fabien Bravin/National Geographic Photo Contest)  Luzmila, 12 years old, carries to her house the barley that she harvested by herself, in her family's little farm situated in the mountain behind their house, in a rural village at the Andes Mountains called Sotopampa, in Peru. Once a year, they harvest the barley and then they consume it during the following year. In these communities of indigenous peoples, children work helping their families, making it hard for the Government to maintain a balance between the laws about child work and the ancient tradition of these populations, that includes some difficult tasks for kids.
