2017 L&CPU Annual Novice Cup best colour print, Sorcerers Apprentice, by Angela Carr

There was never a thought to start with about making this image, the whole thing started off as a bit of fun with Jake the day my mum and Zara threw powder all over him.

I found an article on “creating lightning” on the internet and followed that.

The print was selected to be entered into Lancashire & Cheshire photographic Novice cup 2017, I thought it may get a good score but never expected in my wildest dreams for it to be the best colour print and to win a gold medal – now that was a total surprise, I had no idea until  I was presented with it at the club.
