A photographer from Cornwall was named a double category winner at the South West Coast Path Photographer of the Year awards.

Jennifer Rogers triumphed in both the Nature and Your Path categories.

Her winning entry for Nature, captioned "Gannet View, Storm Isha, West Cornwall" displays a gannet caught between the rocks and sea.

Judge Trevor Burrows applauded the image for its powerful portrayal of the sea and wildlife, pairing technical proficiency with the evocative darkening of the image's edges to emphasise the spray and gannet.

Ms Rogers's second win, in the Your Path category, came from her photograph of the Milky Way over Gwennap Head, shot at moonset.

The snap provides a breath-taking view of the West Cornwall path and coastline illuminated by a gentile glow from a nearby shelter, with the awe-inspiring Milky Way stealing focus in the night sky.

Jessica Lennan, a judge and lecturer in photography at the University of Plymouth, said: "Creating such a photo demand both technical expertise and dedication".
