Not looking to be a big head as I know there’s many better photographer than me out there, but it’s nice as an amateur to get recognition for some of my images. Previously I’ve sold images out a couple of outlets and that’s a nice feeling that someone considers you work to be nice enough to purchase. Anyway I’m waffling on a bit.
So…….
A few weeks ago the judging for the Yardley Photographic Society’s competition was held. And I won the John Heath trophy (1st) and the Judges Ribbon (2nd) for Project Digital…..
John Heath Slide/Digital Trophy – Awarded by Malcolm Ranieri – FRPS, MPAGB, BPE5* Image Title:Storm
Judges Ribbon – Malcolm Ranieri – FRPS, MPAGB, BPE5* Image Title:Flying Legend.
To be fair I was very happy about this and tonight……
It was announced I won the Amateur Photographer Magazine Forum competition for October!
