The Sony Awards’ “Motion” category went to Alexey Holod’s shot “Smoke,” which took home the top prize. In his picture, a model was encircled by a cloud of smoke that, depending on your perspective, was starting to resemble a fox or wolf. The ethereal quality of Holod’s photo makes it understandable why it won an award.

You would require a high-end camera, such as the Canon 1Dx Mark II, which has been on multiple lists of the “Best Action Cameras,” to capture a shot with such motion. The Mark II, which Canon released as its flagship camera in 2016, costs $6,000 on the company’s website.
