Paul has had images published, and finds this is a very rewarding. Getting his photo in the Landscape Photographer of the Year was in fact a very proud moment, other publications have been The Photographers Guide to Snowdonia & North Wales, eMinimalism and the Black & White magazine to name a few, something i hope you all get to discover someday. Another of Paul's highs was winning Clubman of the Year in his local camera club, with many 1st 2nd & 3rd certificates for other images in club competitions. The biggest award was his CPAGB (Credit of the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain).
