I managed to fire off about 5 frames before the rainbow vanished and the light changed. The shot is taken from Dale Head near the town of Keswick.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-5707\" title=\"54612b5fedee9-IMG_9462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pictureframesexpress.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/54612b5fedee9-IMG_9462-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"459\" height=\"306\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center; padding-left: 30px;\">&#8216;How did you get into photography?&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I first picked up a camera when I was 12 when my Granddad bestowed the responsibility on to me of Photographing his retirement party. I was lucky enough to be able to borrow my Dads (Grahams) SLR film camera; with quick instructions from Graham on how to catch that moment or reaction in someone&#8217;s face and a more than capable camera of doing that, I set about doing exactly as I was asked. I really enjoyed the responsibility of the task and everybody loved the pictures afterwards and so from that point I was hooked. I looked back at the retirement pictures a couple of years ago and they really are good for a 12-year-old even if I do say so myself.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8216;What do you enjoy about photography?&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I get so much from Photography, It takes up large amounts of my time, I can&#8217;t get through the day without looking around and thinking what a great sky that would make a great picture, or what my next image will be like. The main enjoyment I have got through photography is that I have become an experienced Fell walker and could quite easily navigate around mountain ranges in safety. I&#8217;m currently trying to complete the Wainwrights; all 214 of them, I have completed a third of them at present.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8216;What are your plans for the future?&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I have my own website under construction <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clayborough.photoshelter.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.clayborough.photoshelter.com<\/a>, and in June this year I&#8217;m having my first solo exhibition in my hometown of Otley at the local Courthouse, which I&#8217;m really excited about that.<\/p>\n<p>Getty Images have noticed my work and now have a large number of my stock for sale for commercial use on their website. I have seen good returns on my pictures as they have been used by big companies such as Microsoft, The Independent Newspaper, The Telegraph, I even sold a picture to Clinton&#8217;s cards and it has been used on a Birthday card, inadvertently my Mum bought the card for me on my last birthday, she was totally unaware that I was the photographer, it made the hairs on the back of neck stand on end when I opened it a truly priceless moment. I&#8217;m hoping for more work and more sales and maybe even some more competition wins.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>These three images are currently shortlisted or have won competitions with National Geographic, Smithsonian, and The Wainwright Society.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-5696\" title=\"IMG_1561\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pictureframesexpress.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/clayborougha-1024x605.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"459\" height=\"271\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Otley New Years Day Dip NatGeo Traveller 2015 Shortlist TBA Jan 15<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-5695\" title=\"andrew\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pictureframesexpress.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/andrew-1024x440.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"459\" height=\"197\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Almscliff Crag taken from Otley Chevin NatGeo Traveller 2014 Short List Result<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-5694\" title=\"8333490782_dd4c452a57_k\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pictureframesexpress.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/8333490782_dd4c452a57_k-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"459\" height=\"306\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Great Langdale (Wainwright) Winner Open Category and Winner of Best in Show. and Smithsonian Shortlisted TBA Feb 15.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &#8216;What can you tell us about your entries which reached Top 10 in our photography competition?&#8217; Pure Joy &#8211; September &#8216;Emotions&#8217; CompetitionPure Joy is a picture of my Son Frank, it&#8217;s all about Joy the moment before you know any different that Pure moment before life has bitten you.
