We would like to display all the entries on this website. We will use our judgement to omit ‘sensitive’ images, if you want to decide for yourself tick the ‘Refuse Permission’ box against the relevant entry.
For the 2019/20 season you may enter a maximum of 5 images in any mix of Print or PDI provided that you can only enter a maximum of 4 of each type (e.g. 4 PDI’s plus 1 print).
In the event of over subscription and entry may be excluded. If you enter 5 images please tick which one you would prefer to drop.
Full competition rules can be found here.
NOTE: If you get an error message when submitting your images it is probably caused by either
- A slow internet connection so that the process times out before completing
- The total size of your images is greater than the limit of 8Mb
To get around this upload fewer images at a time. Select and upload 1 or 2 images, submit these and see if that works. If so click the Edit button and you can upload more images. If this doesn’t fix things email webmaster@frodsham.photos.

‘Wildlife cameramen don’t come much more special than Doug Allan’ – Sir David Attenborough
Join multi-award winning wildlife cameraman Doug Allan for an evening of behind the scenes stories for all the family, with highlights from the most challenging assignments of his 35 years filming wildlife in the remotest places on Earth. Find out if snow leopards or leopard seals are the most scary; discover how to get close to the biggest fish in the sea and whether your eyeballs freeze at minus 50.
Born in Fife, Doug Allan spent seven years in Antarctica as a Scientist, research diver and photographer for the British Antarctic Survey, before changing direction to full time freelance filming in 1983.
Since then he has become one of the world’s best known and respected cameramen, specialising in natural history, expeditions and science documentaries. In his 35 year filming career, he’s worked for the BBC, Discovery, National Geographic and many others, filming for series including The Blue Planet, Planet Earth, Human Planet, Frozen Planet, Ocean Giants, Operation Iceberg, Wild Cameramen at Work, and Brian Cox’s Forces of Nature.
This new presentation traces Doug’s personal journey as he discusses how he’s seen pollution and climate change affect the natural world.
Copies of Doug’s book Freeze Frame will be on sale, as well as his colour prints of polar bears, penguins and seals.

Building on the huge success of the inaugural Northern Eye in 2017, the festival returns in October 2019 to bring a new set of outstanding photographers, speakers and exhibitions to the North Wales coastal town of Colwyn Bay.
This honouring of photography is centred around a core speakers weekend, which takes place in Theatr Colwyn on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th October.
A two week fringe festival will run either side of the weekend’s heart. The fringe pops-up across the town will host a diverse range of free exhibitions, workshops and events for all.
The October meeting of the RPS Digital Imaging Group features Ann and Steve Toon who are a Northumberland-based husband and wife team of former journalists turned professional wildlife photographers.
Their special area of interest, expertise and passion is the wildlife and wild places of southern Africa which they have been visiting regularly to photograph for the last 20 years. Their work is represented by a number of leading photo libraries, wthey e write features with our images for numerous magazines both in the UK and overseas, have a number of photography awards and have had three books published on photography and natural history. They have a deep interest in conservation, and, where they can, also use their journalism to explore and highlight the many complex issues affecting wildlife today.
Ann and Steve run photo workshops in the UK and have recently embarked on a successful new venture leading photographic safaris to some of Africa’s most exciting photographic wildlife destinations.
There will be the usual ‘Bring a print’ compettion which Ann and Steve will be asked to judge.

A presentation by Simon Buckley
Simon lives in the city of Salford, just across the Irwell from Manchester, and has lived in this area for most of his life. Currently his personal work often explores themes of transition, frequently within the urban environment.
This interest caused Simon to begin his Not Quite Light project, the subject of tonight’s talk, which examines themes of heritage and regeneration at dawn and dusk.
Several commissions have arisen due to this work, archiving the construction of new developments. It also led to a major collaboration with 5 Plus Architects called “You Live With Us, We Live With You”, which resulted in a limited edition book.
Simons work has been published nationally and internationally, and I’ve exhibited in the UK, France, Germany, Hong Kong and China.
