Landscape Photographer of the year - got in the book & expo

Amazed! I got a "Commended" for my shot of a chap on West Wittering beach, and as a result it's in the book and the exhibition.

There's a selection of some shots in the Sunday Times mag today, and more info here. Anyone else here get in?

My pic was this one by the way

Well done Tobers. Mind I've seen some stronger landscapes from you.

Re: Landscape Photographer of the year - got in the book & expo

I know - it was not my first first choice. I submitted 10 and this was the last one I put in. Having seen some of the others that got commendations or category winners you can see the sort of thing they were after though.

Re: Landscape Photographer of the year - got in the book & expo

Top work.

The dog shot won the £10k? Seriously?

The Humber bridge shot destroys that one.

Yep - £10k for the dog shot, though I've got to say I do like it. It has a certain quality to it that I like and I can see why they picked it I guess. I'm not sure how many winners & commended shots there are. I guess one overall winner, and one winner for each of the categories (5 of them??), then a bunch of commended ones like mine. Enough to fill a book I reckon.

Re: Landscape Photographer of the year - got in the book & expo

It's a nice enough shot - not convinced it's a winner though. There are some majestic shots there (love the gardening one as well).

Re: Landscape Photographer of the year - got in the book & expo

Congrats Tobers

You may not be mad on the picture yourself but I love it. It has a timeless quality to it and I love the composition and framing.

Well deserved I reckon.

Re: Landscape Photographer of the year - got in the book & expo

Congrats I am so pleased for you.

Your photography has come on leaps and bounds in the past year or so and this is throughly deserved. I admire the fact you have gradually moved up the ranks from pics FOC and putting yourself out to now commanding a decent price for your services, something i hope to replicate. Further more you have done this without being accused of stealing Pro's working opportunities or selling yourself too cheap..

Again well done, keep up the good work

Re: Landscape Photographer of the year - got in the book & expo

Ta all. Much appreciated esp gpa's comments. It seems to have been a good year so far.

I know what I'm going to be giving all my family for Christmas pressies now too . I wonder if I can get a bulk deal on the book.
