Low Light Magic Competition: the Winners!
By Paul McKay
Low Light Magic
Today is a massive moment: we announce the WINNERS of the Low Light Magic Competition in partnership with Kodak Alaris and with extra prizes donated by our friends at Digitalab! We want to thank everyone who submitted. Over 500 images landed in our inbox over the month of the competition and they were exceptional.
Excitingly, Andy Church from Kodak Alaris was so impressed by the quality of the entries that he is offering TEN prizes in total! Adding eight 'Notable Mentions' to the original two Grand Prizes.
We have also been so blown away by the skill and creativity our community showed that we have decided to promote the Kodak T-Max P3200 35mm as a special thank you, and hopefully to allow more photographers to experience a top quality Low Light film. Head to the product page now to stock up at 25% off! Offer must end 1st April.
