Lot’s of you have already entered our reptile photography competition but I know there’s still lots of great potential entries out there!
Don’t forget there’s a £50 first prize that can be used to buy anything on our website www.reptilecentre.com. There’s also 20 runner up prizes of £10 to spend!
We’ve got top photographer Steve Carlin helping with the judging so make them good. He’s a bit of a stickler for detail.
The Judges
I have assembled a panel of expert judges, and myself, who will be trawling through all the entrants to choose the deserving winners. They are;
Lois Hook
Steve Carlin
Sam Shapter
Gary Rolfe
Lois owns Northampton Reptile Centre and is a keen amateur photographer, she’ll be looking for innovation and imagination in the photographs.
Steve from Steve Carlin Photography is a master with a camera. He will be looking at the technical aspects from the entries and judging on photographic quality.
Sam manages the shop and has over 400 reptiles at home. She’ll be looking at the quality of the photographic subjects, the animals!
Gary (me) is a judge purely because it was myself who chose the judges. I’ll be generally bowing down to the experts and throwing my two pence worth in from time to time.
