The One Show Photography Competition

[pxl8]

LOL, they didn't of course specify which range the camera is the top of... could be the top of the 2mp range

I reckon you've got a good chance of winning with one of the kingfisher shots, keep your fingers crossed - I saw a lot of folks were (and still are) adding shots after the deadline expired and those on the shortlist were notified.

do k-tel still make cameras ? lmao

Personally I think the chaffinch in the blizzard is more suitable but depends on the judges, it'll probably be a cat sitting on top of a cow picture, you know something that really is wild

[pxl8]

Well it's supposed to be a shot taken this summer so a blizzard sounds just about right, at least in my area

I guess it depends if the judge(s) are photographers or not, if not cute factor ten will win the day...

Well, there was that wet spell called August

well, I've just seen the results on the One Show. I don't think any of the winners were WABbers. The winning swallow shot looked a bit lucky to me

Bad luck Kev. You didn't want to win a Nikon D200 anyway did you?

Nah it was only a Nikon. But imo it was a good winner. Right time right place and with camera

When are the Daily Mail winners announced ?

it was a good shot. Although the composition was a bit lucky I suspect. It took her 80 shots to get it.

No idea, but the deadline was a week ago wasn't it? Maybe they've already been announced. I'm not a regular Daily Mail reader

It took me well over 100 hours and hundreds of images to get my hover. Getting the swallows in 80 is a good hit rate lol

If it been announced I didnt win that either lmao

yes, but the hover was the shot you were going for presumably, so when you eventually got the shot it was a result of hard work and skill. I doubt if she was aiming to get that swallow composition. More luck than judgement, I suspect, although maybe I'm being unfair. It was still a good shot.
