Emsworth Show Photos


I entered this photo into the Emsworth Show Photography Competition in the category "Family Holiday". It was taken whilst on holiday at Poppit Sands during the summer holidays. I titled this photo: "Catch it if you can!". I won first prize for my age category as well as a huge cup called the Barker Cup for overall best young photographer I was so shocked and amazed!


I also entered this photo into the category "free choice". This photo shows the shell of a malted crab. While on holiday at Poppit we saw literally hundreds of these on the beach and assumed the were dead crabs as this had never happened before. It turns out that the tide was lower or something like that. Anyway it was quite a sight and bit scary considering I hate crabs! Crabs malt their whole shell a bit like snakes. When it first comes off the crabs are very soft, so they have to hide from predators for a few days while waiting to get harder.
