Here are the results of our photo competition #MyLockdownlens! We have so enjoyed seeing all the entries and really couldn’t believe how talented all the children and young people are. It was very difficult to judge but eventually we agreed on First Prize to Poppy and Second Prize to Amy – well done to both of you. Both winners took a tricky subject and did something unusual with it. We hope visitors to this page will enjoy the images as much as we have.
Yvonne and Jill, judges
Glorious colours from Joseph in this nicely composed photo, with lots of interest in the foreground.
Capturing the water’s surface and those gathering clouds adds movement to this otherwise deep and peaceful picture. By Rhona.
Birds are difficult to photograph as they don’t stay long in one place, but these have been captured beautifully. By Chloe from SUSU
Pictures can say more than words and this one from Beth shows that cats will snuggle anywhere that’s warm.
Great contrast between the soft hues of the sky and the metallic blue of the car. Hobbies make us happy! By Vic’s son.
By restricting the colours in this picture Skye makes us focus instead on all the textures. Unusual and pleasing photo.
A world in miniature by Scarlett. Nice close up of a tiny ladybird, with great texture from the water drops.
We can almost taste that delicious home made cake Rayah! Hope it was good. It’s not easy to photo candles so well done.
1ST PRIZE CONGRATULATIONS! Chosen entry from Poppy. The ethereal glow of the clouded moon, partially lighting the housetops, all taken from an oblique angle. It just feels like real life in a photo.
Sometimes just looking upwards gives our mood a lift and this picture has recorded that moment. By Poppy.
This from Poppy shows a marked contrast between the still green of the land and the clouds gathering momentum in the bright sky.
The endless variety in pebbles creates great visual interest in subdued colour tones. Clever. From Matthew.
Thoughtful composition here, setting the homely rooftop as the backdrop for a lovely golden meadow. By Lucy.
Very pretty close up of delicate flowers. We think later they will produce strawberries? By Kiri-Shannon.
How talented are you Jasmine! You told us you have never painted before the Covid lockdown. Keep on doing it we say!
Gaming is represented in this photo by Ishmael. It’s an important way for lots of people to stay positive in lockdown.
Chosen entry from Harry. To preserve a special moment in an image, like here, shows a real photographic ability.
This feels quite celestial and it’s very clever of Ethan to catch the sun’s rays as they pierce the treetops.
A lovely beach scene from Eloise that looks as if it had been washed over with serene blue and grey watercolours.
Very unusual and intriguing picture from Daisy, where the birds look as if they are about to start a performance.
This photo is very carefully composed to show us exactly what the photographer is thinking about. Wizardry afoot from Chloe!
Wonderful sense of movement here as the inquisitive squirrel appears to stare straight at us. By Chantelle.
From Callum, this photo at first looks totally cute, then you see a little naughty gleam in the eye….
Thank you for producing this powerful drawing to support such an important movement as Black Lives Matter.
Pictures can say more than words and this one from Beth shows that cats will snuggle anywhere that’s warm.
2ND PRIZE WELL DONE! Such a clever photo from Amy. Pets with completely black fur are so hard to capture well.
