A Photographer for almost 40 years was proud to get first prize in the Four Seasons competition.Geoff Coolledge (61), of Enfield Avenue in New Waltham, said: "It's wonderful."I won once three years ago, and didn't think I would get the chance to do so a second time."I have been taking photographs for about 37 years now. It is a real passion of mine. I love going out, taking the picture, and then weighing up the quality of the photographs when I get back home."Geoff took the picture of the robin in November. He said: "The robin has been around since summer, living in next door's hedge."I saw him in our garden, and quickly opened the top window to our lounge and took the photograph with my Canon 20D camera."I was particularly pleased with the result - especially thanks to the rich colour of the flower."I tend to specialise in wildlife shots. One of my favourite places to go and take pictures is Cleethorpes Country Park."I also like to photograph aircraft - a particular favourite of mine is one I took of a Spitfire at the Elvington Air Show, near York."I will keep entering the Four Seasons competition."It's really rewarding to see a picture you have taken appearing in the paper."I remember when I used to be a tanker driver, I was surprised by the amount of colleagues coming up to me to say they had seen one my shots in the Grimsby Telegraph - it was quite amazing."
