I have just been away for two weeks holiday and just before I left I entered 5 images in the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers monthly competition. Whilst I was away I found out that I had been awarded Gold Awards for 3 images in the categories of Fine Art, Digital Art and Pictorial. These images now go towards the Annual Awards that take place in London next month. The images are shown below. Smoke photography is still new to me and I like the creative images that can be obtained with a little patience.
Digital Art Gold
This smoke image is one of my favourites so far. I like the way it can be interpreted as two alien like figures interacting with each other.
This collage of just three different images has been created to give a feel of tree-like structures disturbing the flow of the smoke in the wind. What do you think?
Pictorial Gold
This was take near the London Eye. Whilst I stood there I noticed the harsh shadows being created by all the people walking by. I then set the camera exposure to the bright paving and used Jan's static feet to add to the composition and then waited for a good gap in the people traffic.
Now I am looking forward to attending the Awards ceremony in January in London and meeting up with some truly great Professional Photographers. Whilst I am in London, I am also assisting in the running of a Fund Raising Charity training event in aid of Help For Heroes on January 16th. For Details
