Competition Photos Finally Submitted

As mentioned Previously the local rag has been running a photography competition.

I had great ideas about going out and taking lots of shots of various sites around the city but all of a sudden the closing date has crept up and I've not had much time to take any more snaps.

So here are the final 3 that I decided to submit.






It's a shame that they're all of the same subject matter but in my opinion they're not too bad. I especially like the infrared one but not sure that they'll accept photos taken with filters. We'll see.

Top prize is a Panasonic Lumix TZ3 with seven runners up receiving a copy of photographer Steve Day's book, Wiltshire Moods

Cathedral Gate

Jumped in the car to shoot down the supermarket for some food this evening. As the sun was setting I thought I'd take my camera with a view of may be getting some more shots for the photo competition in the local rag.

Got a few pics of the sun setting but none really suitable for the competition.

Except may be this one.....


The gate and sunset are real but I cheated by inserting the cathedral (playing with merging photos again)!

Photo Competition

Noticed this week that the local rag is running a amateur photo competition of local life, landmarks etc.

You can submit up to 3 photos so yesterday evening I jumped on my bike with the aim of avoiding the rain and getting a few snaps down and around Salisbury Cathedral.

In general I'm looking for originality and something that will be different from all the usual tourist snaps.

Here are a few from last night. None of them really do it for me but I do like low light / long exposure shots.

I like the angle of this one.



















A bit of a different take on the usual Cathedral shots. Really like the silhouette.














General low night cathedral shot.














A different view of the Cathedral - Historic building v modern traffic!















Don't you just love the old style phone boxes.
