"Bored" With The Same Old Photos - A Chance For Stardom!
|
We have received the following from one of the producers of the BBC's One Show
Hello,
I wonder if you might be able to help me at all.
I work for the BBC One Show and I’m currently trying to set up a potential film in the New Year looking at the tides of the Severn Estuary. I’m keen to find local amateur landscape and timelapse photographers who regularly take pictures from good vantage points along the estuary and who may help me find these good spots as well as be part of the film. Ideally on one of the highest tides next year, we will attempt to capture the tide coming and going across the whole estuary with photographers based in strategic places, and then combine all their footage to make a final film.
I came across this group and wondered if you might have people you could recommend that I might be able to talk to about this, as well as use their local knowledge to work out the best places and times to achieve this film.
Many thanks, I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind regards
Jo Ashman

The British Wildlife Photography Awards 2014 - A Celebration of British Wildlife
Stretching across the British Isles, from towns and cities to woodlands and shorelines, The British Wildlife Photography Awards captures the majestic beauty of our own ‘back garden’; featuring Otters, Puffins, Grey Herons, Starlings, Blue Sharks, Grey Seals, Greylag Geese and the domestic Doormouse. Captured amongst their natural habitat, it also turns the spotlight on Britain’s flora and fauna, including wild woodlands, underwater worlds and urban haunts. The awards showcases over 100 images and videos celebrating the work of amateur and professional photographers as they showcase the beauty and diversity of British wildlife, presenting the familiar in a new and often surprising light. Winning images are chosen from 16 categories including Animal Portraits, Hidden Britain and Wildpix Young People’s Award.
