    Round One Mad about mono

    Neil Leatham gets us off to a great start in this year's APOY, winning Mad About Mono with his original still life.

Alternatively, for candids, the SIGMA 40mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art (RRP £1,099.99) provides the ideal focal length, with its wide aperture making it ideal for shooting in low light.
