East Cork Camera Group participated for the first time this year in the 7th annual Scott Kelby Annual Photowalk on Saturday 11/10/2014. All those who participated were eligible to submit one image to the local competition for a one-year’s subscription to ‘KelbyOne‘ online training service, for everything photography and beyond, worth $250. The winner would also be automatically entered into the worldwide competition for some fantastic prizes.
The deadline for submissions was 27/10/14 and once the closing date had passed it was time to select the winner which was not an easy task. Eventually, however, one was separated from the rest so congratulations, Finbarr O’Shea who submitted the ‘fishy’ entry below!
Well done to all those who joined us on the day, commiserations to the competition runners up and, once more, well done Finbarr and the best of luck in the worldwide competition.
