ATALENTED photographer has been chosen as the first winner as part of an anniversary competition at his camera club.
Jeff Haynes, a keen member of the Field End Photographic Society, won the Gazette Cup when his striking portrait was hand-picked by the Uxbridge Gazette’s own chief photographer, Chris Berry.
Mr Haynes’s photo, titled My New Jumper, was taken on the streets of Yangon in Myanmar (formerly Rangoon in Burma).
“It is such a great picture – the expression caught my eye and the contrast, not just photographically, but the new blue jumper and the traditional man,” said Mr Berry.
“It was very difficult to decide on the winning photograph. It’s a truly fantastic exhibition of pictures – such a great variety – from traditional, to exercises in Photoshop.
“Well done Jeff,” Mr Berry said.
