Mountain hare foot stretching – Well it’s certainly been a good year for me in regards to competition success. Of the six competitions that I enter routinely every year I’ve won 5 different categories in 4 different competitions. The latest ones to be announced are the Nature Images Awards (link in my bio), a competition that I was fortunate to win overall back in 2012 with a portfolio of 12 gannet images. It’s their portfolio categories that are my main motivation for entering this competition as I consider myself much more of a long-term project photographer and I have a passion for trying to produce credible and unique bodies of work, as opposed to simply dropping in with a species for a few days here and there. In this particular competition I’ve been fortunate to win a grant to continue my work with the mountain hares, a species which is exceptionally close to my heart and one which could do with all the support that it can get. Rather randomly I also won the Comedy category, a category that I also won in Nature Photographer of the Year and it would only be fair to say that this is typically one of the weakest categories. Competitions are so notoriously fickle and subjective and so much of one’s success is dependent on luck and guesstimating which image to enter in which particular category. I didn’t think that this hare image was strong enough to compete in the Mammals category, nor did it match the tone and feel of the cool blue hues in my winter hare portfolio so I was very fortunate that they’ve introduced a Comedy category in recent years. Tomorrow I’ll probably post one of the hares from my winning winter portfolio but if you’d like to see the portfolio as a whole then please do click on the link in my bio, as always I’d love to hear your honest thoughts be they good, bad or indifferent.
