SW photographer honoured

Gilles Vanderstraeten lives in the Gers and is an experienced and enthusiastic photographer who was at a music festival organised in his local bar when as he explained "a few tired children came in and sat by the stage in the light of the only floodlight" giving him the chance to capture a scene that has universal appeal. If the picture had been posed in a studio you would not be surprised.
It has been placed in the top 50 "low light" photos in the Sony World Photography Awards and will be exhibited at Somerset House in London.
So, TAG photographers note that even at 300 metres from home there could be a prize winning photo opportunity.
