Congratulations to Wetpixel member JP Trenque (better known here at Wetpixel as frogmansub) for winning the BBC Photographer of the Year competition. His picture of schooling barracuda was taken at Ras Mohammed in Egypt with the Nikon D100 and 10.5mm lens and was selected as the winner from a massive 12000 entries, by a public vote on the BBC Website. On the way to the final JP’s picture also won the Environment category (which itself attracted 2000+ entries). His prize is £400 towards a photographic assignement for the BBC website.
Just a small correction. The shot was taken at Ras Mohammed in Egypt with the Nikon D100 and Dr MUSTARD’s 10.5mm lens !
Alex, I don’t know what’s so special about your lens. I’ve never won anything with mine since I bought my own 10.5 !!!
