Sue Woodbridge, Lee-on-the-Solent Fujifilm X100V, 23mm, 1/500sec at f/8, ISO 1000 Sue won last year's street photography round with this comical and well-seen moment. The judges said: 'Sue has placed herself in exactly the right spot to ensure maximum surreal effect, as even a few inches to the left or right would have rendered the vignette ineffective.'
Sue says: ‘During August, a couple of years ago, there was a summer festival planned in my local seaside town of Lee-on-the-Solent. I thought it would be an ideal opportunity to practise some street photography, which is normally something I would undertake in London. I was hoping to encounter some unusual and unique characters or scenes to photograph a little closer to home.
I chose on this occasion to use my Fuji X100V as it is an ideal camera for street and urban photography. It is very compact and relatively discreet, which allowed me to walk through the bustling crowds seamlessly, without being noticed too much, as I tried to capture some candid moments.
With my camera already set up and ready for action, I was able to just amble down the high street looking at the activities and enjoying the atmosphere, just concentrating on finding anything unusual rather than being too concerned about camera settings.
