AN award-winning photographer has snapped up three more major accolades thanks to these stunning images.
All three earned honourable mention awards for Shahbaz Majeed of Frame Focus Capture Photography in Dundee in the professional architecture and landscape categories at the international Monochrome Photography Awards.
A total of 8,122 entries from 81 countries were received overall. Majeed, whose work also features on the new polymer £5 note from the Clydesdale Bank, said: “I am always proud when my images do well, especially ones of Scotland as they go on to promote the country and inspire people to visit.”
The pictures are of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, boats on Loch Lomond taken from a helicopter, and the Quiraing ridge on Skye.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
