May entry
These are the photographs that I entered for the Amateur Photographer of the Year Competition 2009, I only entered four as other things intruded on my planned photography.
The shot of the leaves of the Japanese Maple was taken in our back yard during an early spring shower, the droplets on the red looked really nice and seemed to magnify the colour of the leaves.
The portrait of the Pizza Man is from the Durham covered market, he was watching us approach and I had my camera in hand and he exclaimed, “I’m going to be famous” whilst gesticulating and I caught him in the process.
The footbridge is a new footbridge (to me) in Edinburgh from the St James Centre to the base of Carlton Hill, just everything seemed curved which was emphasised by using a wide-angled lens.
The shot of the group of friends was a lucky chance shot waiting for someone, the configuration happened just before we went home, I liked the vertical boy and everyone else gradually leaning into him.
This year I’m hoping to produce new photographs for each of the rounds and I’m in the process of planning this months (February 2010) shot already.
