John Boyd LRPS I was recently awarded a Certificate of Merit for my entry 'Making a splash' taken at Bramham International Horse Trials in 2011. I was also succesful with a second image taken at my local rugby league club. The rugby image was also sent forward to represent my home union in a national competition. Both images were accepted into the annual exhibition of the Yorkshire Photographic Union-see YPU Entries. I suppose in some ways I felt a little disappointed as last year I had 5 entries accepted and I was awarded 3 Certificates. On the other hand we have to be optimistic and believe that the next photo we take will be the very best we have ever taken-otherwise whats left to hope for ? I also managed to win the Open section at Wakefield Camera Club in the Annual Digital competition. I also won 'Printer of the Year' and finished up in second place in the Clubman of the Year. This is no mean feat as we have some great photographers at the club. See the winning image in the folder marked 'Good news on all fronts'. I have also added another image to the growing list of those I've grabbed with my new toy,A Fujifilm Finepix X100. It's very impressive to use but I'm still getting used to it so do bear with me. I take the pictures for my own fun and entertainment,if you like the result as well then that's ok,if you don't then that's also ok. For the record I am using Canon equipment, a 5D Mark2 and a 7D. I have a variety of lenses including the EF 24-105 f4L, EF 17-40 f4 and the EF 100-400 f/4-5.6. I can't move on without thanking my lurcher,Alfie,he provides me with inspiration and support at all times without ever criticising the stuff I produce.............Thanks Alfie !
