London Art College Photography Competition Winner!

The winner of the London Art College Photography Competition 2015 is……

Winner – Eleanor Patrick with ‘Blue Grotto Cliffs, Malta’

The standard of photography this year was very high; this and the fact that the range of interpretation of the theme was great made choosing a winner very difficult.

The winner, Eleanor Patrick’s scene of cliffs, shows technical skill and an eye for composition, producing a stunning shot of bold colour and texture – you can almost hear the sea crashing on the rocks.

Congratulations to Eleanor, an Amazon voucher of £50 is on its way to you.

We would like to recognise a second place and some highly commended students. Colin Armstrong with ‘Sunset Beach’ came a close second which is pictured below. Laura Nickerson, Kevin Pyle and Catriona Jennings are all highly commended.

Email from Eleanor –

“I am both staggered and pleased about this, although looking at the other entries, it was a close thing! I had forgotten all about entering actually.

I shot this with my Pentax *istDS in 2006 in Malta F11 1/250. The boat trips to the Blue Grotto were shut due to high winds so we walked around the cliffs and I took this view because of the light and depth of colour. It didn’t need altering afterwards, which was nice! The sun had done a good job for me 🙂

This has reminded me that I used to provide the photos for nearly all my articles published in national magazines and newspapers over the years and now I have become merely a would-artist relying on my iPhone camera because it’s always with me. But there isn’t time for everything, is there?!

Anyway, this win has given me a needed kick to take a DSLR with me everywhere.

Thanks again for choosing my picture. It’s made my day!

Cheers

Eleanor”
