After not entering this competition last year, I thought I'd give it another go.

My first entry was Autumn in a Box.  I spent ages taking pictures of leaves on the light table, then printing them (Double sided)  and cutting them out to fill a box, itself also clad in pictures of leaves.  I took ages and our friendly club judge appreciated the work but it otherwise "didn't do it for him".

But he sure liked my Choo-Choo train!  It won me the competition and trophy!  And it was only an after thought really after realising that I was allowed not just one but 2 entries. I bought a nice toy train on ebay, set up the tripod, took a series of pictures of the traininig moving it along an inch or so everytime, loaded them up onto a digital picture frame and play it like a little movie.  And best of all, Photoshop didn't go anywhere near it!
