The DLR and Docklands newspaper recently challenged budding photographers to capture the great sights seen from the trains and stops on the DLR network.
Following a flurry of entries, the pictures were whittled down, and we can now announce the winners.
The winner of the over 16s category, and receiver of an E-P1 &
14-42mm lens Olympus camera, is Luke Agbaimoni for his
‘Magical view at East India DLR Station’.
Luke commented on his picture: “Because I commute on the DLR and also
work nearby a London dock, I have been lucky to capture some special
moments en-route to work. This shot is one of my favourites taken as the
sun was setting on a snowy afternoon, as a train approaches East India
station. The snow, worker’s footprints, golden clouds, and cars
disappearing into the Canary Wharf horizon – all added to this magical
scene.”
In second position in the over 16s, and winner of a 20” x 16” photo
canvas book from Snapfish, is Chris Mansfield for his
image ‘Woolwich Ferry plus East London Skyline’.
In third position in the over 16s, and winner of an 11” x 8”
personalised cover photo book from Snapfish, is Brad Clark
for his image ‘Water Joy at Pontoon Dock’.
The winner of the under 16s category, and receiver of an Olympus
TOUGH-6010 camera with magic filters, is Harvey Dimond
for his image ‘Tower Bridge from the South Bank’.
On his image he commented: “Looking towards Tower Bridge and the
Docklands from the South Bank. Twinkling lights follow the river towards
Tower Bridge, creating a wonderful pattern and good perspective. A few
people melt gradually into the picture.”
Second place in the under 16s, and winner of a 20” x 16” photo canvas
book from Snapfish, is Hanna Begum for her "Over
looking London while on a school trip".
