This is a picture that Peter took midyear of a building construction in Camberwell, in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. What is very special about this picture is that it came first at the Whittlesea Show this month. Peter submitted twelve photos in the novice section covering many different categories. The winning photo was under the category of 'architecture and building construction'. All his other photos won nothing.
Peter feels that he was indeed fortunate to get first prize given the standard of entries. Second prize in the same category was quite stunning, a picture taken in the Melbourne Museum by one of the mothers of the Whittlesea Primary School. Her children ribbed her that Peter the chaplain "pipped her at the post". Peter and this mum have had a laugh about it and will be competing again next year. Maybe it will go the other way next time.
These are the twelve Peter submitted. Afterward, Peter was amazed at all the good pictures of the year he overlooked that might have been far better choices. His choosing of these happened in a rush to catch the Show deadline. Lessons learned. Now he is compelled to be in the 'open' class in the 'architecture and buildings' category but can remain a novice for all the rest. Lessons learned there too.
