Merseyside man rediscovers 'lost hobby' to win Albert Dock 'Autumn sunset' photo competition

Last month the ECHO ran a competition with the Albert Dock to find the best sunset photos of the iconic Liverpool landmark and the winner said it helped him rediscover a 'lost hobby'.

The winning photo, taken by Merseysider Richie Kilkelly, was picked by the judges - which included the ECHO's Colin Lane - out of nearly 200 entries. Scroll down to see other four photos shortlisted. Richie, who took the photo, is a 54-year-old compliance manager from Ainsdale and entering the competition after taking the picture in a 'split second' due to the beautiful colours in the sky.

He said: “I was into photography in my youth but always saw it as a hobby. As life went on - getting married, raising kids, I lost touch with the hobby, so didn’t really consider myself to be a keen photographer. However, entering the competition has been a great way to fall back into photography again and restart the love for a lost-hobby.”
