One of my photographs has been accepted into The Wirral Spring Art and Photography Exhibition which is now showing. It's really exciting to see one of my photographs on display in an exhibition. :P

    Yes, congratulations! Where's the exhibition on? My parents live on the Wirral so we might be able to pop in and admire your handiwork next time we're visiting.

    Hi Everyone. Sorry for the delay in replying to the questions. Don't know where the last two days have gone. The photograph is a close shot of a teasel flowerhead before it flowers. Unfortunately I don't have a website as yet. Amboline, the Exhibition is on at The Williamson Art Gallery, Slatey Road, Birkenhead until Sunday 1st of June. The gallery is open Tuesday to Sunday 10am to 5pm. It is closed on Mondays except Bank Holidays. If you are able to go I hope you enjoy it and would be interested in your thoughts on the exhibition. :P
  • ambolineamboline
    Ah yes, I know the Williamson well, it's just up the road from where I went to school. Sadly, not sure if I'll be back over that way before the 1st June though... if it was on for just a week longer we'd probably make it, as we've got tickets for the Wirral folk festival, but we're unlikely to get there before then unfortunately...

    Congratulations on your success, Wilts. That must be a really good feeling. If you want to post your pictures to the web, there are a million and one places that will host your images for free. www.flickr.com is the best known but there is a host of others.
  • WiltsWilts
    Thanks for the info joey blow. I will look into that. :P
  • WordyWordy
    Congratulations, Wilts. Do you use photographs with your writing or is this a separate talent?
  • WiltsWilts
    Wordy the plan is to combine photography and article writing. At present the photography is a long time hobby. :P
  • TRShawTRShaw
    Oh its at the Williamson. I'll be there next week..! I'll look out for it.
  • WiltsWilts
    Hi TRShaw. Hope you enjoy the exhibition. Mine is the photo of a Teasel flower head and is unsurprisingly called Teasel. Because the photos had such a large entry this year a separate room was needed to hang them. I see you are from Merseyside. Which part I wonder? I'm was born and live on the Wirral. :P

    Hi Wilts - congratulations on the pic inclusion! I will try and visit the exhibition myself if poss - my eldest, Big Mac, is heavily into photography so would love to come and visit too! We live in Chester, but I was born in Birkenhead (don't know where, I was very young at the time...)
  • lexialexia
    Well done Wilts ! Sorry a bit late but seemed to have missed this thread. What colour is the teasle pic? I think it would go well on my bedroom wall.........
  • coopercooper
    Well done wilts. Enjoy the moment.
  • WiltsWilts
    Lexia, the background is mainly green and the flowerhead has a light pinky purple tint to it as the pic was taken just before it flowers. It was taken outside in a garden. :P

    Hi, Wilts - went to visit the exhibition (along with Veggiemac and Big Mac), and we were very impressed at the whole thing! The standard was certainly v. high indeed - there were some stunning photographs (including yours, of course!). I was only puzzled by the choice of winner, but then what do I know! Hope you managed to sell yours, you certainly deserve to!

    It's a lovely gallery, too - and one I didn't know existed (nor did Tom on the Sat Nav - we had to ask directions!). I hope they advertise its presence widely because it's certainly well worth the visit. We went to Wallasey to look at the wind farm and the lighthouse afterwards - we had been inspired to do so by the photos, especially the one of the wave breakers. I don't think I've been there since I was a child, and its certainly changed. Bigmac knew his way - seems it's one of his regular haunts when he goes off for a drive!

    Anyway, thanks for pointing us to the gallery, Wilts - we had a lovely day out, thanks to you and your pic :)
  • lexialexia
    Fine praise from the mcb family - well done Wilts. Am a bit too far away to visit, but am with you in mind. Could you post the pic somewhere , like your website or something, for us to see ?
  • WiltsWilts
    mcbemused so glad you enjoyed the exhibition and had a nice day out. Thanks for the feedback. Yes it is a lovely gallery and should be better publicised. :P

    lexia I haven't got a web site as yet but hope to at some stage. :P
