In the past 12 months we have had everything from owls to cars and cameras on the cover, so who can blame us for taking a break and handing the task of shooting the Christmas one over to you, our readers.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we choose a cover picture, we generally look for a portrait-format shot \u2013 although if the quality is high enough we are not opposed to cropping. If the image features a model, we tend to look for eye contact (although there\u2019s a great example of when to break the rules in Elena Paraskeva\u2019s \u2018Snow Queen\u2019 image). It\u2019s also imperative that there is enough space for the magazine \u2018furniture\u2019 \u2013 masthead, coverlines and graphic devices \u2013 that we use to describe what is in the issue. Busy images with lots of detail are generally unsuitable as they make text difficult to read.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t

\u00a9 Adrian E Mortimer<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

While the picture must be striking and sum up our brand values, it must also have \u2018shelf shout\u2019 \u2013 that something that makes people want to pick up the magazine and head to the tills with it. Defining what exactly this \u2018something\u2019 is can be tricky, but AP<\/em> has had more than a century of covers, and using this experience, we think we know our audience pretty well.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, it\u2019s always slightly nerve-racking when we hand this job over to somebody else \u2013 in this case, you guys! But, as ever, you have risen to the challenge. This year we received 1,436 entries. Pictures ranged from the sublime to the downright ridiculous \u2013 you know who you are! Landscapes, animals, portraits, Christmas decorations, and even a pair of giraffes walking down a street wearing Santa hats were submitted.<\/span><\/p>\n

The overall winner was\u00a0Adrian E Mortimer\u00a0<\/span>with his snowy image of a robin.<\/p>\n

The AP winner: Adrian E Mortimer<\/span><\/h2>\n\"\"\n

“To be voted the winner is a shock \u2013 albeit a pleasant one! I am grateful to all of the team for voting for my picture. To be on the front cover of the world\u2019s oldest photography weekly magazine is\u00a0a real honour.<\/span><\/p>\n

“My interest in photography began in about 1970 when a friend showed me the basics of black & white developing and printing, and it has grown ever since. My passion has never wavered, and I now use digital equipment, computers, Photoshop, Nik Software, etc. I have never been more than an enthusiastic amateur as far as photography is concerned \u2013 I don\u2019t think I am skilled enough to be a professional, nor did I ever aspire to be one.<\/span><\/p>\n

“My early working life was in the hotel-and-catering industry, but after getting married I left the trade and worked in the timber industry until my retirement at 67 a few years ago. I now have more time to devote to my hobby, which is something I didn\u2019t always have while working.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The winning image was taken in my back garden in February this year. The robin was a regular visitor and I was determined to get some good close-up shots of it if possible. I used my Fujifilm X-T1 with a 50-230mm XC zoom, which, although from Fujifilm\u2019s budget range, is capable of recording some amazing detail.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I set everything up, switched on the camera\u2019s Wi-Fi remote feature and connected it to my smartphone. I then went in to the kitchen, where it was warmer, and controlled the camera from my phone. I fired the shutter when the robin appeared on the perch I had set up for him. Obviously there is some hit and miss with this type of photography, and you need a lot of patience, but when you get a good shot it\u2019s all worthwhile.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I usually do some basic post-production work in Photoshop or with Nik Software, which I particularly like, but I try not to overdo it. The snow in this shot was added on my computer \u2013 I just thought it gave the image a more seasonal appearance, which fitted the brief for the competition.\u00a0My wife says that I am obsessed with robins; I have produced\u00a0a calendar with 13 different robin shots on it, so she might well be right!”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The prizes<\/span><\/h2>\n\"\"\n

Once again we teamed up with Photocrowd and PermaJet, but we also welcomed a new supporter in the form of Billingham. The overall winning image (as judged by the AP<\/em> team) graces the cover of this issue and the winner receives a Billingham Hadley Pro bag worth \u00a3200 (www.billingham.co.uk<\/a>) and an A3 print of the finished design courtesy of PermaJet (www.permajet.com<\/a>). The winner awarded by Photocrowd (www.photocrowd.com<\/a>) receives an A3 print of their image, plus \u00a3100. The AP winning image was shot by Adrian E Mortimer, and the Photocrowd winning image was shot by Adam Cunningham-White.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n\"\"\n\"\"\n

\n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t

\u00a9 Steve Palmer<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

\n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t

\u00a9 Dean Morris<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

\u00a9 Neil Burnell<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

“This was submitted as a landscape format shot, and while it\u2019s a lovely picture it loses some of its magic once it\u2019s cropped”\u00a0–\u00a0AP<\/em> comments<\/p>\n

\u00a9 Dmitriy Kochergin<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

\u00a9 Elena Paraskeva<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

\u00a9 David Gibbon<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

\n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t

\u00a9 Bobby Lee<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

After bike-packing the length of France in her teens with her family, she started to undertake solo adventures in her 20s. Always a keen swimmer, she discovered a love of wild water 15 years ago, and has since swum the Dart 10k three times, qualified as a swim coach and learned to freedive. She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-22-at-13.22.27-e1513951431884.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-23 22:32:28","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116036","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116036"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116036\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":116059,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116036\/revisions\/116059"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116050"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116036"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=116036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
