Winning Images Two photographers from Cambridge have won a UK photo competition by CEWE, Europe’s leading photo printing company. The ‘On My Doorstep’ competition invited entrants to share the unusual and surreal moments they’ve captured throughout the lockdown period and beyond. From scenic walks in the countryside, to precious family moments after time apart, the photos submitted for the competition perfectly capture the best moments that photographers experienced on their doorstep this year. Sally Jex won with her image entitled Empty Punts, showing Cambridge’s famous punts sitting unused throughout summer, kept company only by the cows in the field opposite. Poppy Roth’s winning image - entitled Lockdown Lunchtime Rush Hour - was taken in Cambridge City Centre as the streets stood empty while people followed government advice to stay at home. This image was taken on an iPhone 11 Pro, showing the power of smartphone photography.
