Scott Sinden was diagnosed with motor neurone disease two years ago, and his poppy image won him a prize in the Disabled Photographers’ Society’s annual competition. “I was shocked and surprised to win a prize,” he said. “It takes a lot of effort to take pictures because of my condition, so to be told I had won an award made me hugely proud.” Another winner was Brian Adam, who has had part of his leg amputated. “I loved the competition,” Brian said, “and it gave me a purpose to get out and about with the camera.” Scott, Brian and other winners attended an awards ceremony at Calumet Photographic’s London Drummond Street store.

Seasons of the British Isles
The winner of the 2016 Thomson Ecology Seasons of the British Isles competition has been named as AlanWarriner. His winning image, entitled 'Fire in the Ice' was taken on an early morning in the Lake District. The winning shot saw Alan collect the prize of £200, plus royalties for the use of his photo. Alan says, “I had some time off and had spent a few days in the Lake District with my camera. One evening I was
passing Bassenthwaite and thought it might be a good location to get a photograph of the sunrise the next morning. When I arrived there was little sign of the sun, but instead the lake had frozen. The contrast between the reeds and the ice caught my eye, and I ended up taking this shot instead." Three runners-up were also announced; John Holt, Linda Pryke and Swales Parry.
