Visit Hamphire
Catergories: Photography

To showcase the amazing autumnal colour in Hampshire we ran our 3rd Autumn Photography Competition, and our photographers did not disappoint. 

After extensive judging, we are so excited to announce and share with you the winners, runners up and highly commended entries for this year's Autumn photography competition. 

A huge thank you to those who entered! 
 

WINNER – Richard Broadbent, New Forest  

'The New Forest is a beautiful place to visit all year round. However, there is something special about the Autumn. Not only can you experience the changing colours of the foliage, you can also witness the annual deer rut. Pictured here is a red deer stag roaring for dominance in his patch of heathland. Dawn is the best time to view the deer, an early start was needed to capture this image.'

My husband and I decided to do the Tall Trees walk in the New Forest and we were amazed at the scenery and colours of the trees - highly recommend this walk in the Autumn!'

'As a family we visit the coast, post Covid, as many times as we can. Hayling Island is about 30-40mins from home, on this occasion we travelled down one evening to get some sea air. To capture the light and reflection of the kite surfer as the tide starts to come in was just magical.'
