I entered the 'Yorkshire Landscapes' competition run by our local newspaper, the Telegraph and Argus - and two of my images have made it into the last 100 (out of about 1000 entries). The next stage is a public vote to make a shortlist and then judges will choose the winner. The prize is an utterly desirable Panasonic DMC-GH1 camera. (I'd love it, oh, I'd love it.) Plus the best images will be used in a book and the T&A 2011 calendar.
Long-time followers of my blog have seen the two images in question before - 'Early Morning Sunshine on Salts Wharf' above and 'The River Ribble at Stainforth' below.
Phone: 0901151 0421 or No 8 of 100 on the website
So..... now I need your votes!!
If you would like to vote :-) please access the Telegraph & Argus website, find the pictures (4/100 and 8/100) and enter your name and email address below the images. Or phone the number given under each photo above (UK landline calls cost no more than 50p) - by November 8th. Vote for both! Or vote for number 4 only - the mills - to avoid 'splitting' my vote, as most photographers only have one photo on the list.
As if that wasn't exciting enough, I also won one of the annual competitions (Natural History) at my camera club with my picture of a grey heron - another that I posted on here a while ago. And, someone might want to use one of my photos to advertise a Christmas concert in Saltaire.
As you can guess, I'm smiling from ear to ear and right down inside too! "Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! She chortled in her joy."
This also earns a spot in James' 'Weekend Reflections' at Newtown Area Photo. Do visit there to see more lovely images.
Hey, congratulations. I'll be voting for the Mills shot.
ReplyDeleteJenny, you have every reason to be thrilled... you deserve all the kudos. Not only are your posts interesting, informative and well written, your photos are spectacular. I voted for number 4. Fingers are crossed for you. (I assumed only one vote per person is allowed, although I did not see that anywhere. Let me know if I am mistaken about this and I'll vote for number 8 too.)
ReplyDeleteThank you, John & Francisca! I've read the rules carefully and it doesn't say you can only vote for one. So vote for both! OR if you only vote for one, choose No.4 the mills, so that my potential vote doesn't get split between the two. (Most entrants only have one photo on the longlist.) I really want a photo on that shortlist!!
ReplyDeleteA big congratulations! Well deserved recognition, indeed. No.4 the mills gets my vote. I have my fingers crossed for you, too.
ReplyDeleteMade!! I was afraid they did not accept votes from France, but it said "thank you ", so I guess my voice was registred.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, CONGRATULATIONS!!That's a pleasure when one sees that other people love your work too.It makes you feel more confident.And gives you the desire to go on!
Me again: I made a little more than voting. Go on my blog and you'll seee! :))
ReplyDeleteDone! #8 too! Gladly... :-)
ReplyDeleteWell done, A! Voted already.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!! I hope you win. I'll vote on the website.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Jenny!! Off to vote!

ReplyDeleteWell done, I voted for number 4. Without saying too much, the photo deserved to have my vote. For your info.. After I voted, it said there were 36 votes for the mill.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. I love your photo - I looked through some of the others after I voted (#4) but still think yours is worthy of my vote. I was only allowed one, BTW.
