Poppy snap is a winner
Visit Lincolnshire and 2Aspire’s first photography competition has announced its winner.
The stunning picture was taken at the International Bomber Command Centre, featuring a backdrop of Lincoln’s skyline and the centre’s one-of-a-kind Summer poppy display with a Lancaster Bomber recreated in poppies.
The photographer, however, has chosen to remain nameless, but says the image was very personal, due to their connection as one of the many RAF veterans in Lincolnshire.
Now bursting with a passion for photography, the retired winner has been spurred on to develop his skills further with a photography course at his local college.
Linda Radford, skills engagement officer, said: “It’s fantastic to see that our photography competition has helped light a fire in this gentleman’s heart, and that he’s taking the passion forward to develop his skills even further.
“The competition itself has been great. It’s inspiring that there are so many people out there willing to learn, regardless of age or ability, and we strongly encourage anyone with an interest or passion, to keep learning!”
