Blowing my own tuba...

Apologies for blowing my own tuba... (not into trumpets!). Yesterday, one of my photos was announced the winner of the Church Monuments Society photographic prize. Not exactly the XXX Photographer of the Year, but still a nice boost to the ego, and not a bad prize. It was a print competition, so many thanks to Peter of the Siskin Press for doing such a great job of my image. The image below is one edit of this image, the print darkened down some of the bright areas in the background to give better contrast to the hands.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Um pa paa! A worthy win with a most unusual and original image (at least as far as photos inside churches go!). Impressive clarity and presence and the shallow DOF adds impact.

Beautiful picture
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
