Fens Through A Lens Competition

In the summer of the 2008, a group of Long Road photography students and staff visited Lakenheath Fen in Suffolk for a workshop with award-winning wildlife photographer Chris Gomersall.

During the workshop, students got to explore the fen and gain valuable advice from Chris Gomersall on how to approach photographing wildlife.


The resulting images were entered in the Fens Through A Lens competition and all the entries can be seen on the Long Road Photography Flickr site.

One of our current year 13 students, Rachel Abraham won first prize in the 16-19 age category.

The exhibition will then tour various venues across the Fens.
