Photography
Competitions
Often poorly subscribed,
photographic competitions offer a higher chance of success for
those who take the trouble. Most people consider such
competitions as specialist, and feel that they don't have a
chance, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Everyone is capable of producing a worthy photograph, so you
be ready with your camera to take advantage of the reduced
competition.
Where Will
You Find Them.
One of the best places is of
course photographic shops.
Jessops for
example, frequently runs such competitions, so keep an eye out
there. They also run courses and can supply books to
help you improve your techniques. Another source is
photographic magazines, but here you will be up against
professionals and committed amateurs, so your chances of
winning will be substantially reduced. One of the best
types of photographic competition are the ones you find on
products. Marmite and Insight Travel Guides have
recently run such competitions and Cadbury's Creme Eggs have
been almost predictable with their regular "How Do You Eat
Yours?" competition. Such competitions allow you to have
great fun with your camera. The more outrageous and
unusual the better, this is certainly not the territory of the
professional, and lets us all have a chance.
