I had some family and friends suggest I should enter some photo comps a while back.I generally avoid such things-as I just enjoy photography,and I feel I am not all that good at it.But they kept at me,so posted entries to keep them happy,and forgot about it.
But today-a friend called in with a 'Sporting Shooter' magazine-they have a monthly photo/story comp,and I'd won first prize! a Redfield spotting scope 20-60 variable-made in USA,so that will be useful for bird watching. (if your in a news agent have a look at the August issue of sporting shooter page 58 for my photo and story)-I cannot post image here (unfortunately)
I did another photo shoot recently,and some of those images went very far,including winning a Canon G1X :) (sorry folks cannot post those either-ned flanders would have a fit),but some of the senior photographers here have seen and given a big thumbs up,I've even ended up with paying jobs in that field.
