Exeter photographer Paula Fernley's capture of Dorset's Kimmeridge Bay has been Commended in the prestigious Landscape Photographer of the Year competition with her work being shown to hundreds of thousands of people.
It is on display at busy Watterloo Station with other winners in the competition. All of the images are shown on an enormous video wall above the concourse and will continue to be shown throughout December and January alongside the static exhibition on the mezzanine.
Paula , a former dentist, was introduced to photography when she was given a camera by her parents at an early age.
Since then she has travelled extensively, and photographed many interesting people and places across the world.
A couple of years ago she decided she wanted to improve her photographic skills. Tuition and a modern digital camera showed her the way forward.
She is a prolific member of the Exeter Camera Club, and hopes to branch out into other fields of photography in the future.
Paula said "I was absolutely stunned when the email arrived to tell me that my photograph had been Commended, and would be exhibited and published. It has been challenging but a hugely enjoyable experience getting to this point.
"A big part of successful landscape photography is the light, and that means getting up early and walking to places in the dark to be in the right place at the right time. I would encourage anyone to have a go by photographing their local landscapes, as there can be so many beautiful places on your door step and things are constantly changing.
"A good camera helps, but equally you need a clear idea of what you are trying to achieve, warm clothes, patience and a flask of hot tea!"
