Photographic Competition

Towards the end of last winter, East Kent Province’s Photographics Manager Peter Floyd decided that it was high time to cheer us all up with some great photos. And what better way to get some really special ones than with a competition?

Peter had no particular theme in mind. Photos had to have been taken in or near our Province of East Kent. They could be seasonal photographs, pictures of villages or well-known landmarks – but not pictures of Freemasons, Masonic Centres, cheque presentations or Masonic functions. As the winning photograph, chosen by the Province’s Communications Team, was to be published on the Provincial Website, submissions had to be of the highest quality.

Many Masons rose to the challenge. As you scan through the magazine, you will find many of the ones that caught the judges’ eyes.

This is the winning entry, from Alan Leigh of the Commemoration Lodge No.5329: Red Hut at Rye Nature Reserve. Among the judges’ comments: “The composition is good: well balanced, uncluttered, clear focal point, the diagonal formation of the clouds draws your eye in, and the red of the roof retains your interest”.
