APOY 2014 Competition Results Round 1 – Street Life<\/h2>\n

We had some excellent entries for round 1 of APOY 2014, and
\nhere we reveal the top 30 photographs from our Street Life round<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/a>Sam Rowell<\/strong>, of Lytham St Annes in Lancashire, is the winner of our Street Life round of APOY 2014. Sam will receive an Olympus OM-D E-M10 with a 14-42mm EZ Pancake zoom, a 45mm f\/1.8 portrait lens, a 40-150mm zoom, a 9mm fisheye lens, a macro adapter and a street case in which to carry it all.<\/p>\n

That’s a total retail price of \u00a31,200. The E-M10 has a 16.1-million-pixel, four thirds-sized CMOS sensor and a TruePic VII image processing system. The 14-42mm EZ Pancake zoom lens is the most compact pancake lens and the 45mm f\/1.8 portrait optic is ideal for low-light portrait work without flash.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our second-placed winner is Dan Deakin<\/strong> of Bristol, who will receive an Olympus Pen E-PL5 camera, plus a 14-42mm and 40-150mm twin-lens zoom kit worth \u00a3500. Despite its small size, the E-PL5 offers serious image quality with its powerful 16.1-million-pixel sensor and a new OM-D component in the TruePic VI image processor. It also has lightning-fast autofocus.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jianwei Yang<\/strong>, from Canada, finished third and wins an
\nOlympus Stylus SP-100EE Ultra Zoom camera, with a 16-million-pixel sensor and 3in LCD screen. The SP-100EE includes a handy autofocus lock so you need never lose a shot due to fuzzy focusing. The camera also features a 50x optical Ultra Zoom lens with a focal length ranging from 24-1,200mm.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"1st Sam Rowell<\/strong>, Lancashire 50pts<\/p>\n

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3, 7-14mm, 1\/160sec at f\/4, ISO 200<\/p>\n

Peter Sellers<\/p>\n

Judges say: \u2018Street photography is always a popular subject in APOY and this year was no different. It wasn’t easy picking a winner. However, Sam’s image was one of the real stand-out images. It’s a beautifully observed scene and demonstrates a photographer with a keen eye and a quick hand. The wonderful pools of light on the walls are a compositional bonus that
\nadd interest and balance to the shot. This is a fantastic image.’
\n\"\"2nd Dan Deakin<\/strong>, Bristol 49pts<\/p>\n

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7, 20mm, 1\/80sec at f\/1.7, ISO 1600<\/p>\n

Kissing Couple<\/p>\n

Judges say: \u2018This image is by 2012’s overall winner of APOY, Dan Deakin. Dan has recently made a temporary move to Vancouver in Canada for work and in his free time is trying his hand at street photography. It’s paid off, as we can see. This is a shot full of atmosphere. The tonal range is beautifully exposed and really adds to the moment Dan has sneakily captured.’
\n\"\"3rd Jianwei Yang<\/strong>, Canada 48pts<\/p>\n

Sony Alpha 55, 16-80mm, 1\/320sec at f\/5.6, ISO 100<\/p>\n

Dolphins<\/p>\n

Judges say: \u2018Jianwei is a regular in APOY, particularly in our street and urban rounds. He’s a photographer with a distinctive style – strong light, monochrome, abstracts – and as such his images are immediately recognisable. Here we see a beautifully observed image, one that is typical of Jianwei’s strengths as a photographer.’<\/p>\n
