Pink Lady Photography Competition
A bit of a flurry this week as I snap a few images for the Pink Lady Photography awards. The competition closes in a couple of days, hence the frantic activity. I’m trying for a couple of different categories this year in addition to the Errazuriz Wine Photographer.
I’ve also just received a stunning wine decanter that I would really like to use in an image but time is pressing so it might not make it to the studio table in time for an entry this year.
I note that the Pink Lady blog featured my entry from last year - it reached the finalist slot but was up against a mass of really strong and impressive images, The writer states
