January Print Club Competition – Open
An open competition is a hard one to select entries for, will you be competing against portraits, abstracts, still life, it could be anything. I generally choose images that I’ve recently taken or that I’ve enjoyed editing or like as an image and don’t think it will fit another subject Continue Reading

Unfortunately my inexperience of taking high speed aircraft meant that I didn’t get a lot of photos that could even be considered average.
