HIS photo of Brasenose Lane after the rain scooped him £25 and a place in our weekly photo spread.

But humble Ritesh Vyas said his success shows anyone with an eye for photography can be a winner.

Mr Vyas triumphed in last week's Oxford Mail Camera Club competition with his atmospheric snap of the central Oxford street.

He said: "I must say I am far from a professional but if I can get a photo into the Oxford Mail it just goes to shows that anyone with a good eye for photography can do it.

"The Oxford Mail Camera Club has been a brilliant idea, with many members ranging from professionals to amateurs.

"It's a place where we can share photos together with tips and tricks.

"I would strongly recommend anyone looking to get into photography in Oxford to join the Facebook group."

Photos submitted to the Camera Club can be on any topic and each week a £25 prize is awarded to the winner as judged by our chief photographer Ed Nix.

As well as being included in the weekly spread of our best photos, published every Saturday, winning images will be considered for a 2018 Oxford Mail calendar.
