A CUMBRIAN man has come runner-up in a major international photography competition.
Vince Campbell, from Penrith, came second in the mobile category in the Royal Meteorological Society's Weather Photographer of the Year 2022 competition.
Campbell’s photography was taken at Tarbet, Loch Lomond in Scotland in September 2021 and is entitled Scotch Mist.
“I've always had a keen interest in photography but never made the time to take things further, work and family commitments I suppose. Today with digital advances everyone has a good quality camera in their pocket,” Mr Campbell said.
“Whilst doing a motorhome stopover, we embarked upon an evening trek up the hills behind the railway station, it revealed some interesting misty views towards the 'Arrochar Alps.'
“Another trek in the morning was equally rewarding, surrounded with mist, the mood and atmosphere constantly changed.”
“The woods, the alps, the loch and Ben Lomond were bathed in 'Scotch Mist'; this shot was taken just before the sun put in an appearance.”
The winner of this category was Aung Chan Thar from Myanmar with his photograph ‘Sunset’ taken in Hpa-an, Myanmar.
