WOOLLAND WOODS BY CHRIS FROST
Landscape Photographer of the Year
“Taken in spring of 2018 in a wooded area close to Milborne St. Andrew in Dorset, this was the third visit to the area in a matter of days. On the previous days, both devoid of morning mists, the light had been harsh and unappealing but the third day delivered stunning conditions with mist swirling through the trees. The low shooting position allowed more emphasis to be placed on the wild garlic and pathway.” See more of Chris’ work here

ROMAN ROAD BY LEIGH DOREY
Classic View Adult Class Winner
“As the title suggests this was once a Roman Road built, around 43AD as a supply route to a local fortress. It travels through deciduous woodland from the A35 in Upton to Corfe Mullen in Poole, Dorset. It’s an area that I have visited with my camera many times before but none as ethereal as this morning was.” Follow Lee on Twitter

“The conically-shaped Colmer’s Hill, just outside Bridport in West Dorset is a well-known local landmark. Having seen that on the weather forecast that there was the possibility of mist, I got up early and drove there for sunrise, to be greeted by a full inversion, with the tree-topped hill rising above a layer of fog, a truly beautiful sight.”

WHEN THE SNOW CAME TO TOWN BY DUNCAN GRAHAM
Your View Adult Class Runner-Up
“Snow at Durdle Door is fairly rare but does happen on occasion. Finding something unique here is a big challenge though. The textures of the partially thawing snow gave a good foreground to use as a lead in line to the Door on this snowy day in March 2018.” See more of Duncan’s work here
