Irish Times Amateur Photographer of the Year Awards 2012

Club Member Des Cannon got a pleasant surprise when he opened the Irish Times on November 17th and saw that his Synchronised Snacking shot had just won him top honours in the Nature section of the Irish Times Amateur Photographer of the Year Awards 2012.

Des thanks his 13 yr old son, James, (the keenest eyes in Bray) for spotting the tiny little critters on parade in their back garden during August 2009. All Des had to do, apparently, was the ‘easy part’ with his 50mm macro lens & 7D. Great shot Des!
