Big awards on Thursday. \u00c2\u00a0I have the shot below up for an award in the Location Flash Category. \u00c2\u00a0One winner from all the categories gets the prestigious title of Professional Photographer of the year. \u00c2\u00a0I lucked in last year and won the Portfolio title. \u00c2\u00a0The shot below is of William D Drake of the Cardiacs. \u00c2\u00a0I planned the shot in advance. \u00c2\u00a0He is a totally eccentric character which I was determined to get across in the portrait. \u00c2\u00a0I stuck a Lumedyne head inside my flash brolly with the battery pack hidden from view and told William to ignore everyone walking across the bridge and just think about the shot. \u00c2\u00a0It was rammed with people and the sky was turning darker by the minute so we shot fast. \u00c2\u00a0William is simply jumping up in the air as I count him in to the shot. 3-2-1 Do it again. \u00c2\u00a0We must have done it 15 times until we got a shot that worked. \u00c2\u00a0The background I underexposed by about a stop and a half to esentuate the greyness of London and make St Pauls Cathedral stand out.<\/p>\n

Awards ceremony is in Cheltenham on Thursday night. \u00c2\u00a0Fingers crossed!<\/p>\n
