Your chance to enter the UK’s most prestigious competition for amateur photographers
Round Ten Low light
This round is always popular. Cities are almost the perfect low-light subject, especially in the blue hour. You could also shoot indoors, using the light of a woodburning stove or in an atmospheric café. It’s great for landscapes, too; when the sun is low and raking across the scene, it gives images an added dimension. Or why not try a low-key studio portrait, with careful use of artificial light? Whatever your subject, this is the category for creating a sense of depth and mystery.
Your guest judge
Your guest judge for Round Ten, Low Light, is Niall McDiarmid. Niall is a Scottish photographer based in London whose work is primarily about documenting the people and landscape of Britain. He has exhibited at the Museum of London and the Martin Parr Foundation, and has produced six books of his work over the past decade.
