Last week it was announced that i had won the Red Bull “Inspired By Illume” competition. The winning image (seen above) was a photo montage, which is inspired by mixing my love of skiing and trail running imagery. The skier is American Chris Logan, shot in Champéry resort whilst filming with Level 1 Productions back in the winter of 2012. The remaining landscape part of the image was photographed this Autumn whilst out photographing trail running in the exact same location.With the image appearing on the Red Bull Instagram feed, in a very short time the “like” count had surpassed 40,000 showing what great acclaim this image has received. An additional surprise fell through my letterbox in the last few days, as a Leica D-Lux 6 arrived. Winning the exposure from the competition was all that i was expecting, so this unexpected addition is more than welcome.I now see myself in the enviable position of owning both the Sony RX100 and the Leica D-Lux 6. These two cameras are often compared to each other whilst people consider what to spend their hard earned cash on. I hope to put together my experiences of using both cameras out in the field so as to give some first hand feedback on how they both act.
