A radio station running a photo competition - strange enough. But the
idea that Radio 4 should even sink to running competitions! Good
grief - it'll be Bingo and shopping centre giveaways next! ABC Radio
National (our version of 4) would never plumb such depths.
And what might you win? Actually tangibles or just a warm, fuzzy feeling? :)
Seriously - good luck mate!

Sorry for the OT chaps and chappesses, but I have just heard from
the BBC that I am on the short list with my entry for the "My
Britain at 6am" competition. This is being run by the Today
programme (early morning current affairs programme on BBC Radio 4 -
the best radio station in the world in my opinion) and started with
a professional photographer's portfolio. The final list will be
subject to a vote, and someone will win from the vote.
Anyway, it is OT because I used my Bronica RF645 and 45/4 for the
shot, but on-topic because Bob Gries recommended the film - Ilford
Pan F - and Bob used it with his OMs. It's a tenuous connection,
but sufficient for me ;-) A better connection is that the
professional photographer is one Nick Danziger; he was featured in
OlympUser, the British Olympus magazine for the Olympus Camera Club.
On the BBC website, you can see him holding a 4Ti with a rather
battered hood on a lens:

The shot is of the back of King's College, Cambridge early in the
morning in May this year, including the River Cam and a lovely old
bridge (whose name I don't know). I will provide a URL when I know
one.
