I’ve been in a bit of a rut with my photography this past 18 months or so, lacking the usual motivation and enjoyment. But 2018 so far has provided a real fillip.
First of all, I had the opportunity to go back to wonderful Iceland for a week in February. This time I went North to the Lake Myvatn area and not even the -14 degree temperatures and a stinking cold and cough could dampen my enthusiasm for the wonderful scenery.
Nest up at their AGM I was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the Welsh Photographic Federation for services to Welsh photograph. This was a total surprise and a real honour. I didn't realise anyone was watching!
Two weeks later I got my results from the 2018 Welsh Salon of Photography. They were my best ever. I entered 8 prints and 4 PDI. Eleven of the twelve were accepted and I got one 12, two 13s, four 14s and four maximum 15s. As if that wasn’t enough I won Best Landscape DPI, Best People print, Best Monochrome print and a WPF ribbon. To say I am pleased is a massive understatement. I am speechless and those who know me will agree that is not often the case.
