Roy Finlay Memorial Natural History Competition 2009
On 4th December 2009 Rose Cremin of the Ulster Wildlife Trust judged the entries for the Roy Finlay Memorial Natural History Competition 2009. The Trust is an independent Charity which manages 22 Nature Reserves covering over 850 hectares in N Ireland.
The competition had 2 sections, for prints and Digital projected images, and attracted over 160 entries in each section. Ms Cremin was very complimentary about the overall standard.
Each section was judged separately, with Danny McCaughan winning the digital projected images section, and Nigel Snell winning the print section, and Nigel's photograph of a Mallard was chosen
as the overall competition winner.
The photograph shows Ms Cremin holding the winning image with Danny McCaughan on her right and Nigel on her left." |

DIRECTIONS to Railway Street Presbyterian Church Halls, Lisburn
From Belfast direction: leave M1at first exit. Drive to town centre, through traffic lights and a roundabout. At roundabout do not go up the hill but swing right and then first left (tall building – new Library will be on your right) Continue to T-junction (at KwikFit and garages). Turn right and follow one-way system (passing Jessops on your right) and take next right at traffic lights. Continue till you see the Railway Station on your left. You swing right into Railway Street and the church is on the right. Take the next right, just past the church, and you may be able to park in the church car part (again on the right). More likely you will have to drive on a short distance to another T-junction. Turn right and use the multi-storey car park on the left.
From South: at new Sprucefield roundabout system follow signs to ‘Lisburn’ and continue to town centre, past hospital on right, till you see the above mentioned KwikFit and garages on your left and continue as above.
From North: continue as directly as you can to town centre, keeping straight on at first main roundabout (Tesco’s is away off to the right) and you will join the one-way system which will swing you left, passing Railway Station as above

There have recently been numerous articles deploring the increasing (and often illegal) attitudes being taken by officialdom, including the police,to photography.
See eg the BBC website article:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7351252.stm
The attitudes can be worse than those we used to ridicule in Russia. There is a Downing street website petition which photographers can sign...(which I have signed) http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/photographylaw/
and there is a document spelling out a photographer's rights in detail at http://www.sirimo.co.uk/ukpr.php
