British Life Photography Awards - 2017

Very late last night, I received an email to say I was through to the next round of a photography competition I had entered.  In a confused state I thought the email was referring to my recent HC in the British Wildlife Photography Awards..... however, looking more closely this morning - it is in fact a different competition altogether! Another shortlisted entry no less. I would say at this point - I don't expect it to go any further but you know what ....... let's wait and see lol!!!

So I entered five images for this competition.....

Street Photography - which I really don't do very much of....

British Weather .......

The images chosen to go through to the next round... Out of Season.

I'll keep you posted!

Furniture

When adding furniture to the BH, we decided a very low budget was needed to ensure we didn't go into debt. Car boots and charity shops were visited.  It was always the intention to 'do them up' but of course time was always an issue - until this year (yay). I have REALLY enjoyed this process and actually none of them took more than a few hours to do.

PDI: Down to the last 19 out of 63 images

Not placed

Colour Prints:  I will actually state - and probably for the only time in my club life that I did feel rather hopeful with Bosham - it's an image I'm incredibly proud of. HC. One winner and three HC out of 40 images, with 11 being held.

Not placed

Mono Prints: Both images held - 17 held out of 40 images.

HC - One winner and four HC.

A pretty good season over all.

A good season but I won't need to get a bigger car to take home the trophies this year lol.

British Wildlife Photography Awards

At the last minute, I decided to enter five images into the BWPA. In fact the day before entries closed! Today I have received an email to say I have been shortlisted, and go into the next round.  I have no idea how many people enter this competition but it's probably the largest competition I have entered to date.  I also don't know how many have been shortlisted but I would suspect a fair few!

These are the images I entered....

And this one has been shortlisted.

I know it will go no further but chuffed to have been shortlisted!
