A selection of the latest entries to the Lancashire Life photography competition in association with Wilkinson Cameras
Lancashire’s blooming great, we all know that, and that is especially good news for photographers who can take advantage of spectacular floral displays to create brilliant pictures.
This glorious shot of a bluebell wood near Garstang, which was taken by Amanda Grisdale, is a prime example. If you upload your shot to our website, it could win you great prizes.
It doesn’t have to be floral, of course, any stunning shots taken in our region will be considered when judges begin their deliberations for our annual competition which is once again sponsored by Preston-based Wilkinson’s Cameras.
As ever they have selected some wonderful prizes to give away to whoever takes the three pictures chosen by our panel of judges. The winner will receive a Nikon D3200 & AF-S 18-55 VR worth £445, second prize is a Nikon 1 J2 & 10-30mm White worth £400 and our third place photographer will win a Nikon Coolpix S9300 Red worth £200 (all prices correct as of January).
The judges are editor Roger Borrell, picture editor John Cocks and David Pilkington from Wilkinsons Cameras. The shortlisted top 12 photographs will be considered for inclusion in the 2014 Lancashire Life calendar.
