An Evening in Delamere
10th July 2007
 

Competition Results >>

There was a good turnout for the evening walkabout in Delamere Forest. It had looked like the weather may get the better of us - however, the rain stopped 15mins before we were due to start and the sun came out. Unfortunately clouds continued to roll in and we didn't get the evening light we were after. However, we did get some good cloud formations and found a good spot to take landscape and macro / abstract images. Unfortunately Roger had to turn back with Wellie foot!

These are some of the images I managed to get. For everyone who attended the evening - check out the competition details at the bottom.

I am sure a lot of us got this picture - and even though the light isn't as good as it could be I do like the contrast between the green and grey. The clouds also have some interest. Overall an acceptable landscape without being too special!

I thought that the green 'stuff' would result in an interesting image. At the time I thought the composition was better at an angle. When I looked at this on the monitor and thought it looked like a section of the earth. You can even see Great Britain if you look hard enough!

Competition Results - Annual F&DPS walkabout photographer of the year 2007

Thanks to everybody who submitted photos. I have looked at them over the last couple of days and decided on a 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Unfortunately Phil was my 1st place (which I thought was a bit odd as he usually comes 2nd) so I decided to ask my wife Ann for her 1st, 2nd and 3rd and she came up with the following.....

Exactly the same as me. So...

1st Place - Phil Mann

2nd Place - Lynda Haney
There must be a good photo out here somewhere

3rd Place - John Hughes
