This is the other shot that won a place in this years AOP open. Looks great large. My friend Toby thought the focus effect was all photoshopped, but the focus was all done in camera with a funky old Schneider Xenotar 2.8 lens. Its a different style of photography, essentially large format photography but with digital ‘film’.

I have two winning entries in this years AOP Open competition. Both as it happens have a rural flavour. I’ve spent a lot of time recently in the South West of the USA shooting deserts, which I love, so its great to be recognised for subject matter I can find a bit less expensively closer to home.

This first one was shot near Hemel Hempstead via a rather laborious process with a digital camera mounted on an old fashioned wooden camera to create a huge digital file. I call this picture ‘Some version of pastoral’
