Title: My first imaging achievement
Post by: Carole on May 17, 2011, 09:30:47
I won 2nd place in the UKAI imaging competition with my image of the Rosette.
Admittedly this competition was for those using smaller cameras and DSLRs, but I'm really chuffed.

Reminder:

The first prize was an Atik camera..............just missed it  :cry:

2nd prize was a UKAI beany hat. 

Still it's nice to have my image judged as worthy.

Well done Carole!  That's a good image and having it recognised on UKAI is quite an achievement.

Ha ha!  Well I bought myself a balaclava for imaging so not sure.  I like the balaclava (although I probably look a right sight in it  :cheesy:) because it continues into a neck piece and doesn't shift off the head like a woolly hat might.

Well done Carole, and just think, a new Atik camera won't keep your head warm on a cold night. ;)
