I visited the Royal Geographic
Society on 18 August 2012 where the winning images from the 2011
competition were being exhibited. The advertising alone on the RGS
website told me that this was going to be amazing - and the captivating
image in question of scuba diver swimming alongside a beluga whale was
just incredible. I was also interested to see images from West Africa,
having spent some time there myself. What I liked about this exhibition
was that it didn't just show one image from the winning photographer,
but a selection of images. In addition, it showed images from previous
winners making the most of their prizes. And I also liked the fact that
some vintage photographs were shown.
This exhibition made me want to get out and go travelling again.
My
only criticism was that on the day in question, it was brilliant
sunshine, which made it had to look at the white outdoors stands because
of the glare.
Of course, I took advantage of the special offer for all four books, which I am looking forward to reading!
