How did you get started in photography?<\/h2>\n

Neil Burnell<\/a>:<\/strong> It started four or five years ago, and was o the back of my other hobby \u2013 fishing. I used to fish a lot on the coast around where I live in Brixham, Devon, and I bought a camera to take pictures of my fishing friends and the local scenery. It\u2019s fantastic to be out fishing early in the morning, and that\u2019s when I realised I should be taking pictures of what I was seeing.<\/p>\n

After a while, the photography took over, and I hardly ever go out with my rods any more. I\u2019m self- taught: I bought a tripod and a set of filters, and learned by studying others\u2019 work and styles \u2013 paying particular attention to seascapes.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re a graphic designer by trade. How has this informed your photography?<\/h2>\n

NB:<\/strong> It has certainly helped, and my graphic design style is also quite minimal, so that\u2019s played a part in my photography. Going back 25 years or so, I did take a photography course while I was at college, but it was secondary to design. At the time, I was into sports \u2013 particularly football \u2013 so I didn\u2019t have any spare time to pursue photography. I retired from playing on a local level a few years back, so had more time. As you might have guessed, I tend to throw myself into my hobbies!<\/p>\n\t\t

Did you have a turning point with your photography?<\/h2>\n

NB:<\/strong> It was when I started to study long-exposure photography more closely. The first photograph I took that I was really pleased with is a minimal image of a stick in the mud in a local river. It was misty and there was no background \u2013 and that sort of minimal, monochrome style is something I really like.<\/p>\n

You take competitions pretty seriously. Tell us a bit more about this.<\/h2>\n

NB:<\/strong> I entered APOY last year, and was about eighth in the final standings. Then, last year and the year before, I won the Wex Photographer of the Year award. Also last year, I won the Your View category in the Landscape Photographer of the Year with a minimal beach hut scene. As far as APOY is concerned, I worked very hard at it, and doing as well as I possibly could was my main aim at the start of 2018.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m quite a competitive person \u2013 I know I shouldn\u2019t be! With the Wex competition, because it\u2019s weekly, once I got to the stage where I was doing well, it motivated me to go out and take more photographs. Generally, because I work full-time, I can only go out shooting at weekends, so during the week you can be planning and thinking about what you can do. It definitely motivates you to do more.<\/p>\n\t\t

What was different about APOY, and how did you plan your year?<\/h2>\n

NB:<\/strong> I\u2019ve done a lot of photography I wouldn\u2019t normally \u2013 such as portraiture. So having so many different categories and genres has really pushed me, and it\u2019s the sort of thing that can only improve your photography as a whole.<\/p>\n

As each round was announced, about a month before each deadline I\u2019d start to think about what I could shoot to enter into it. This sort of planning helped particularly with the portrait round, and I actually took a day off work to go out with my daughter to shoot something cinematic and stylish \u2013 something a bit more eye-catching than the norm. It was a longer-lens panoramic shot \u2013 and my Zeiss lens renders bokeh so nicely, I knew I\u2019d get a creamy effect in the background. I then applied a split tone in processing. Photography is all about mood and light, and I can definitely take what I learned from the portrait shoot into woodland photography and the landscape.<\/p>\n

Of course, there are some rounds where you know you have a suitable shot already. I do a lot of landscape, so I knew which shots would go into those rounds. But when it came to the macro category, I spent pretty much every weekend for a month going out and shooting images so I had something to enter.<\/p>\n

I view it as a year-long project. It got me out and motivated, so I enjoyed myself whatever the outcome. If I didn\u2019t have these projects and competitions I\u2019d end up not going out half the time.<\/p>\n\t\t

How did you learn post-production?<\/h2>\n

NB:<\/strong> I\u2019m self-taught. Years ago, I had a one-to-one Photoshop session as part of my job at the time, and that taught me the basics. I\u2019ve learned a great deal from YouTube videos. If I have a spare moment and want to learn how to process an image in a certain way, I\u2019ll watch countless videos to learn how. I don\u2019t follow anyone in particular \u2013 I just do a search and watch the highest-rated ones. Some YouTubers can make them very complicated, so I look for ones that are easy to follow. I always have something in mind when I\u2019m learning and try not to take on too much information in one go.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also started watching more landscape videos \u2013 not with the aim to learn anything in particular, but for enjoyment as much as anything and to see the locations.<\/p>\n\t\t

And what about equipment?<\/h2>\n

NB:<\/strong> I started off with Canon, but my brother-in-law had a Nikon and I liked the look of it more. My first camera was a D7000; then I changed to the D810, which I used for four years. More recently, I\u2019ve upgraded to the D850, the main reason being because I\u2019ve suffered with quite a bad back this year \u2013 mainly because of doing macro. The tilt screen on the D850 means I don\u2019t have to mess my back up again. There isn\u2019t a great difference in image quality, but I\u2019ll definitely notice the difference physically when I come to do macro again.<\/p>\n

As for lenses, I chop and change them a fair bit. They range from a Zeiss 21mm to a Nikkor 17-30mm f\/2.8 for landscapes, and a Zeiss 100mm macro for close-up and portraits. It tends to be the same few that come out with me.<\/p>\n

Do you plan to keep photography as a hobby?<\/h2>\n

NB:<\/strong> It\u2019s so difficult to become a professional unless you\u2019re willing to do stuff like weddings. For me, that would ruin my enjoyment of the hobby I love. One avenue into becoming a professional is YouTube, but I wouldn\u2019t be comfortable with that. It\u2019s such a hard thing to make money at \u2013 the landscape side, particularly. In a way, I\u2019m making an income of sorts from the prizes I\u2019ve won, and I sell the odd print \u2013 certainly not enough to make a living from, but that\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n\t\t

What advice would you give to someone thinking of entering APOY this year?<\/h2>\n

NB:<\/strong> Put some ideas together in advance, even if it\u2019s on paper, and be prepared for each round. Don\u2019t leave it until the last minute. Put in the effort and research, and think about what you\u2019re going to do.<\/p>\n

2nd place – Marco Tagliarino<\/a><\/h2>\n

Travel photography is Marco\u2019s speciality, and his ability to condense the atmosphere of a place into a single frame is admirable. He was a clear winner in our Travellers\u2019 Tales category, with a shot that was intriguing, cleverly composed and demanded careful study. He consistently produces images that convey a sense of scale, and his candid people photography manages to get in close without him being spotted \u2013 a skill most street photographers would be proud to possess.<\/p>\n

3rd place – Simon Hadleigh-Sparks<\/a><\/h2>\n

There are many possible ways to describe Simon\u2019s work, but somewhere near the top would have to be the word \u2018slick\u2019. His excellent post- production skills ensured images that were clean and sharp \u2013 as well as imaginative and well executed \u2013 time after time. This entry to our Mono Culture round is a case in point. Achieving sixth place and 26 points, it was shot with a Ricoh Thea V \u2013 a 360\u00b0 camera that would be very easy to use badly, but not in Simon\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n

4th place – Richard Whitson<\/a><\/h2>\n

Like all the high-scoring entrants, Richard showed great versatility in his photography. His animal imagery \u2013 particularly the shot from Fur and Feathers, shown here, and his close-up of a frog from the Close Encounters round \u2013 demonstrates an enviable ability to combine superb technique with wit and keen observation. He also has pretty impressive reflexes, as his images of adrenaline-fuelled surfers riding the storms in the seas off Tiree demonstrate.<\/p>\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\/2019\/01\/Neil-Burnell-APOY.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-28 09:46:09","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\/125586","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=125586"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125586\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":125633,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125586\/revisions\/125633"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125586"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=125586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
