I'm not one for entering competitions; I did enter LPOTY once but didn't trouble the judges! The costs when you look at some of them are really prohibitive and I have my doubts as to their real motives.

I'll have a look at the zine again, but perhaps keep it to a small amount.

Delighted to announce that my 'Crossover Tracks' image of the Forth Bridge, that was Highly Commended in the 2023 LPOTY competition, has been selected to be part of an exhibition to mark the 200th anniversary of train travel that will be on display at Liverpool Street station later this month.

Thanks Em, weirdly it was never one of my “favs” ie I’ve never printed it or anything like that, but others seem to like it, so I’m happy with that. I think I just entered it into LPOTY to make up numbers 😂

Another oldie. There’s a long story behind it that I can’t possibly fit in here, but a week of wild weather finally broke to let me get this photo - but only after I’d reclaimed my camera from my youngest who “borrowed” it to take his own, a photo that went on to win him Young UK LPOTY Classic View!

Taken from a city tour bus round London when I was over in London for the 2022 Landscape Photographer of the Year.

A great city that I want to get back to soon for some photography.

Well done David but who is LPOTY? - totally disappeared off the face of the planet

Photography friends - I take it that LPOTY is not happening this year after the mess of last year? Any ideas?

Nothing wrong with that approach Paul. It's a great way to learn and hone the craft. I just got sick of seeing the same places in LPOTY & camera club comps. No matter how well done, it became very repetitive for me.....I find it's the same on youtube as well. Each to their own!

I have a reasonably good size collection now and do spend time with them as it helps with the inspiration to get out and about! I've tended towards the more specialist project based boks in recent times which I find far more interesting. LPOTY seemed to be same places in every book in the main.

congratulations Besnik.....what a shame it didn't make the book. LPOTY has certainly had issues in recent years and hopefully they've sorted out any past problems when it gets relaunched.

I'm not going to blow own trumpet or anything, but this image gave me a 'highly commended' in LPOTY a few years ago. It's the only time I've entered, and only did it so I could say I had. Sometimes you just have to follow your gut.

I've only entered one photography competition in my life, which was LPOTY, back a few years ago. This image was 'highly commended'. I was happy with that, so quit doing any more competitions. Always know when you've peaked.

Thank you Mick. That one was actually submitted to LPOTY and received a 'Highly Commended'. I was proper chuffed with that! I'll never enter again tho, as I'll quit whilst I am ahead 😂

A wonderful shot Darryn. I can see why it made the LPOTY book cover.

Photographing starlings has been a personal project of mine. During the short winter days, I often visit Brighton beach to witness their mesmerising displays.

This photo had the nice surprise of being commended in LPOTY 2021 and featured on BBC's Winterwatch.

I think Amar Sood took an image near there and had it commended in lpoty.

Another old one from May that gave me a bit of success in lpoty 2017.

In 2020 I won LPOTY with Silent Covid Morning but LPOTY decided not to print the image in their book as it was a special category, Isolation Landscape. I didn’t mind, but think leaving it out was a mistake as it was a Covid year and the book has no mention of it #Photography #Cityscape #B&W #LPOTY

Lovely image Michael
the heavy table somehow solidly grounds it You might feel you have peaked, but I think creativity comes in waves, some we ride, some we miss. It’s nice to do well in competition. Winning LPOTY in 2020 definitely helped my confidence I admit, but there was a lots of luck involved
