My prize winning photo

Last year, I entered this photo of the moon through trees in a competition my company was running for staff. The staff magazine wanted the best creative photograph taken over the Christmas and New Year break 2004/5. I won, the prize being a Fuji Finepix A-120 digital camera, which I have given to my son Richard.

The last time I won a photography competition was at the Muswell Hill Scouts show, in about 1973 or 1974.

This photo was taken with a long exposure - naturally - but entirely hand held. I had no tripod and braced myself against a wall. It's still a bit shaky.
