“Reader Photo of the Year” for BBC Countryfile Magazine!

March 28, 2019

Ben is delighted to have been awarded winner of the Countryfile ‘Reader Photo of the Year’ for his classic hare shot. Excerpt from the article:

“BBC Countryfile Magazine Picture Editor Hilary Clothier, said: “Wildlife photography needs great patience to capture that exact shot. Ben Hartley has managed this by his impressive image of the hare taken in the perfect composition, catching it as it stares directly into the camera lens and using a good understanding of natural light which bounces off the eyes and defines the fine delicate outline of the fur on its coat. A worthy winner!”
