19 19 19

I am patiently waiting for my big break in photography, which will come in the form of a call from National Geographic or BBC wildlife magazine. If the big break doesn’t come from them, then perhaps I’ll win the Wildlife Photographer of the year, or British/Scottish Wildlife Photography awards (come on, I’m allowed to dream).

Until then(whenever then is) I will keep my hand in by entering competitions at my local camera clubs in Cromarty and Dingwall. The latest competitions was at Cromarty where these three little beauties all scored 19 out of 20 with the last image of a Borneo sunset winning as the best overall image. (*Note to self, send bottle of malt to the judge and some treats for his guide dog). The other two images were second and third overall which is really excellent.

Other competition news came from the postman earlier in the week when a Royal Photographic Society silver medal arrived courtesy of an international exhibition I had entered last year. The winning image was a breaching dolphin calf taken off the Cromarty Sutors last summer. I am really chuffed with this as the standard in these competitions is really high.

As well as competitions, I am currently working on a presentation for Inverness Carema Club which I will give in February. To say I'm terrified is an understatement, hope they like it!

Happy days!
