It took a trip halfway round the world for Michael White to get

this stunning shot of the famous lone tree at Wanaka in New Zealand, which won him the best print award in the West Haddon Photo Club’s 11th Annual Photo Show. White’s image, called Wanaka Sunset , uses the tree’s reflection as a successful part of its composition, as well as the mountains in the distance and the stunning light. Voted for by a record number of visitors to the club’s exhibition at All Saints’ Church in Northamptonshire, it took the top spot. He picked up a prize voucher that was donated by First Light Photographic, the Daventry Framing Centre. Also voted a winner in the digital image category and given a prize was the stunning wildlife shot Bursting Out of the Deep by Wayne Weedon. Taken on a Nikon Z9 using a 300mm f/2.8 prime, Weedon timed the moment to perfection as a luckless fish was plucked spectacularly from the water. The exhibition attracted over 200 digital and 180 printed images from 80 local photographers, viewed by more than 200 visitors during a two- day period. This year’s show will be on 10-11 October so contact events@ whphoto.club for further information and an entry form. The club has already kicked off its exciting 2026 programme, which will feature talks from photography experts such as Martine Hamilton Knight, Alastair Bell, Ashley Franklin, Paul Sanders and Chris Upton. whphoto.club
