With the competition season in
full swing, we are delighted to benefit from the wisdom and advice on
offer from Colin, our Chairman. Colin will discuss competitions as
both judge and competitor. It is not possible to pay full tribute to
the vast wealth of knowledge and experience held by Colin in this
brief forum. As one of the founding members of BSoUP back in 1967,
along with Peter Scoones, he was the original Chairman. Since then,
he has continued to pursue the art with passion and commitment with
long involvement in countless competitions, articles, magazines,
books, conferences and meetings. Last year, while Master of
Ceremonies at the annual London conference, he was awarded the first
ever Visions in the Sea Award for outstanding contributions to
Underwater Photography and is
currently contributing editor to Dive magazine, also writing the
monthly 'Big Shot' feature.
