Got a good shot that you think is representative of our dear island nation’s erratic weather? It could land you £10,000!
Lloyds TSB is running a competition to find the best amateur photographer of British weather. Hot lazy days maybe few and far in-between, but an English summer still offers plenty of chances to capture a glimmering horizon or glittering scenes of summer rain. To enter the competition, participants must submit their photos capturing British weather to the Lloyds TSB website. The overall winner will be picked on the basis of flair, technique and originality. The entries will be judged by a leading panel of meteorologists and photographers.
I think this is a fab idea … and I’d be keen to participate (but I guess since I sometimes actually get paid to shoot, I can’t enter). Oh well, maybe if someone finds out about this competition via my blog and then wins, s/he can split a bit of the prize with me 😉 As much as we’re programmed to moan about the weather, you’ve gotta admit it’s often very photogenic. I love watching storms roll in and out. I think the golden light in this part of the world is enchanting and with all the layer-wearing going on there are always plenty of fashionistas and fashion victims out there worthy of a few snaps. Yay British weather? Perhaps. The Photography Weather Competition runs until September 30th 2010. You must be a UK resident in order to take part in this campaign.
