Photo of the Month
Visit our Blog to see our latest Photo of the Month winners.
Each month we pick our favourite shot from our thriving Facebook Student Group. Of course these are just a tiny handful of the many stunning photos posted by students past and present, we just don't have space to show them all.
RULES
To qualify your photograph must be an original image shot by yourself at any time, posted on the Going Digital Student Group page, and it must measure at least 1024 pixels wide.
January 2019
This lovely landscape by Morag Forbes really caught our eye because it is everything a landscape should be: a great composition with layers of interest that lead the eye from front to back; soft, muted colour palette, and detail from the building in the foreground to the hills in the distance.
