AN AMATEUR photographer has been shortlisted for a prestigious award soon after first picking up a camera.
Martin Jordan, of Peyton Place, Greenwich, has made it through to the final of the BBC Online Photographer of the Year competition.
The 47-year-old impressed the voting public with his snap of a lone busker playing the saxophone in the Greenwich Foot Tunnel.
Mr Jordan, who only took up photography last year, will find out on November 1 if he has scooped the first prize a day out working with the BBC.
He said: "I'm really pleased but also quite shocked I have made the final vote.
"The great thing about photography is it makes you appreciate your environment more and makes you much more aware of what is around you."
