Visions Photo Competition

Posted by Neil on November 14th, 2007

At last week’s monthly meeting, several people were kind enough to congratulate me on winning 3rd Place in the Visions 2007 Underwater Photography Competition.

However, since Alan hadn’t warned me that he was going to tell everyone, I didn’t think to take the photo with me to the meeting so, for those who wanted to see it, here it is. (You can click on it to see a larger version)

I was particularly pleased to win a prize, because of the way the competition was run: The photos were displayed throughout the Visions conference, and rather than the pictures being judged by a panel, every delegate voted for their three favourite photos in order of preference. I narrowly missed 2nd place - my photo had the same number of overall votes, but one less “first preference” vote.

The winning photo was a stunning image of a wave recoiling from a rock wall - a perfect tube of water, seen from below.

BTW, the conference was excellent, and, as always inspired me…now if I could just win the lottery, to fund all that expensive dSLR equipment, and a few dive trips…!
