In December I received two " Honorary Mentions" in the "Images of 2011" competition at Nikonians, an online, USA based Nikon users group. One in the Black and White category and one in the Nature category.

Here's a link to the Nikonian magazine with the prizewinning photos from 2011, pages 8 & 11 refer to my photos, "Wild West Coast"  and "Rocks at Low Head"

I've actually done quite well at Nikonians, back in November 2010  I had my photo "Red Apples" chosen as a chapter opening photo in the  RockyNook publication "Mastering the Nikon D300/D300s" by Darrell Young, a 400 page users handbook about that camera. I was sent a copy of the book as a thankyou.

In July 2011 I received an "Honourable Mention" for my photo titled "Wild West Coast" entered in an online art contest based in the USA. Here's a link to the subsequently published art magazine including my photo.:
