THE theme for our September photo competition was a rather tricky one as entrants were asked to shoot a photo into the sun and include the light source somewhere in the image frame. Not the easiest technique for achieving a pleasing result!
The winning image, 'Peek' by James Vodicka was chosen by our guest judge Drew Hopper. James has won a fantastic photo book gift voucher valued at $250 from our good friends at Momento.
You can see the full selection of winning and shortlisted images below.
