December's Photographer of the Month - John Cuthbert
What can you tell us about your entry into our ‘Weather Watch’ photography competition?
Myself and my lovely partner, Mrs B, headed for Durdle Door during the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, hoping to capture a few meteors using the famous view as part of the composition. We had the most amazing night with masses of meteors — two leaving huge smoke trails, light winds, thunder and lightning and strangely a naked lady floating past us in a rubber dingy saying “I hope I am not ruining your romantic evening…”
How did you get into photography?’
My father was a service photographer and not only took images of his travels but developed his own images and this fuelled both myself and younger brother’s interest in photography. All three of us to this day still love photography…
What do you enjoy about photography?
The thing I like about freeze frame imagery is that you can instantly connect with an image you took and the feelings that were associated with them at that time.
What are your plans for the future?
My plans are to still get out and down and dirty with nature, seeking out the UK’s treasures and hopefully in the process encourage others to do likewise.
What do you plan to do with your framing voucher?
I intend to give the frame to a lovely young lady and her partner, both of whom have given us (myself and partner) so much with their company and shared a few magical moments with us whilst out and about…
