Burnley photographer Lee Mansfield is ecstatic after winning a major competition with his breathtaking snap of the moon rising close to Darwen Tower.
Lee, a regular photographic contributor to the Burnley Express, had his snap win the Judge’s Choice award at Blackburn Cathedral’s Moon Photography Competition.
“There were so many incredible photos entered and on display, so I am really proud to have won this event,” he stated.
Everyone can enter the Luke Jerram Museum of the Moon for free from November 5 to December 2 at Blackburn Cathedral.
Now on show in a special exhibition inside Blackburn Cathedral are the winners and shortlisted entries, accompanied by a surround sound musical composition by Dan Jones, the BAFTA-winning composer.
The piece, which is 23 feet in circumference and was made by artist Luke Jerram using NASA photos, depicts three miles of lunar topography every centimetre.
