Over to you

Your photos and stories, plus the launch of our NEW Photographer of the Year competition

– all our readers have taken their time over their shots, so spend a little while savouring them: this issue’s Apprentice is getting a masterclass in waiting, as he tackles low-light photography on the Dorset coast; our reader photo story features stunning images of the Milky Way, all timed to perfection; and for this issue’s Portfolio Review, one young reader has sent us his best long-exposure images. If any of them inspire you to head out at dawn or dusk with your own Nikon, just remember: there’s no need to rush!
