Landscape Photographer of the Year 2018.
Landscape Photographer of the Year 2018.
As we mentioned last week, this Landscape Photographer of the Year exhibition is on the balcony at Waterloo Station until 3 February. The last time we were there it was attracting a lot of attention. In the past, it was held upstairs in the National Theatre. This is the third year at Waterloo, and is we feel a superb location for attracting a cosmopolitan audience. This blog shows just a few of our favourites. Yours may well be quite different. The descriptions are really interesting in what has gone into producing such pictures and with what equipment…

This is Bobby’s favourite for the simple reason that he was there that night on Waterloo Bridge. There were a lot of photographers with very posh gear just waiting for the moon to pass behind the cross. There by chance, but not having the equipment anyway to capture the scene. Reading the description, the photographer still needed real skill to develop this image.
And this Landscape Photographer exhibition is free!

DISCOMBOBULATED… is something many have experienced! Duncan Barkes used the term after his epic interview with Bobby on Winnie the Pooh Day on Radio London. To be honest, we hadn’t heard the term before and had to check the Oxford Concise and there it was. If you would like to be discombobulated too, here is the interview:
