Highlight: Listening to some of the best news stories of the year.
Lowlight: Not hearing the whole stories...the snippets were cut off just as we were getting to the interesting bits.
Fill-in: This is the third year I have covered these awards, held at the 20th Century Club, London. They always have a slick presenter and as its Radio the atmosphere is laid back and intimate. With Simon Cryer of Crying Out Loud at the helm there is rarely a hitch so all goes smoothly and for an award ceremony, which are usually stressful and frantic to cover, this is more like a chill out session.
Best Story: The fact that if Yorkshire were a country it would be above Japan and Australia in the Olympic 2012 medals table.
Tech spec: Getting the award presentation on stage was the worst problem. I wanted the lovely red and blue lights in the background but also get good skin tones on the people in the front. I set the ISO to 1250 and used the flash in fill-in mode, taken down a stop so it just punched in a nice bit of light on the faces without flashing off the glass award, casting a shadow on the curtains and knocking out the saturated colours. It was a small awards ceremony, so I shot lots from the back of the room for more flattering images.
