I was happy (and honored!) to find that one of my photographs had been chosen as an honorable mention in the International Photography Awards (IPA) 2009…
The list of winners is pretty comprehensive (maybe next year?…) and can be found at the Winners Gallery Page. You can also see the full list of the Honorable Mentions (non-professional). There are many many different categories, but luckily the folks at IPA have opted for a clean simple gallery design with a list of icons, so you don’t have to stumble through any kind of awkward gallery system here.
They even posted up an official looking certificate showing my entry in the ‘Architecture’ – ‘Buildings’ subcategory…
I did an original post on the County Hall in London shot back in January, after taking the shot over a couple of days in December. I had originally gone on the London Eye to get an aerial view of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, but in the spirit of keeping snapping up to the very last minute, as we were descending in the pod, I saw the colours of the County Hall changing constantly below.
The picture was taken with a Canon Tilt-Shift (45mm) lens, through the glass of the pod. Luckily what turned out to be a not-too-scratched area.
The ‘County Hall, London’ photo is also available in the archive.
… and thanks to the judges for picking the image for an honorable mention!
