Cricklade Battle – March 3rd 2020

Our second annual Battle with Cricklade Camera Club was held in the Cricklade Town Hall Annexe and well attended by representatives from both Clubs. Each Club submitted 30 projected images of Open subject matter which were shown in random order and judged by Prof. Bob Ryan.

In a closely fought contest, Cricklade CC shot into an early lead by 11.5 points but a strong second half performance saw RWBCC reduce the deficit. However, we were unable to overtake the aggregated score and eventually lost by a mere 3 points. Final scores were

  • Cricklade CC 486.5 points
  • RWB CC 483.5 points

Thanks were extended to Cricklade CC for hosting the event and to the judge, who clearly explained his scoring system from the outset and commented on each image with both rigour and wit.

AGM & Members Evening – February 18th 2020

The Annual General Meeting was held during the first part of the evening with the election of Club Officers resulting in a Committee that looks suspiciously like the last one!

Before the tea break, Dave Garmont shared his journey in becoming a light-weight photographer by switching to an Olympus E-M5 Mk3 camera and a range of four third micro lenses. These latest technology, faster lenses not only reduced the weight of his camera bag but obviated use of a tripod and were far more sympathetic to his arthritic neck. After demonstrating the equipment he showed an impressive collection of bird images that had been achieved with his new kit.

After the break, Jim Bullock treated us to a wide ranging presentation of his eclectic images, charting his photographic progression. His genuine love of photography and willingness to experiment and try new ideas to arrive at different results were evident. Using various computer programmes, Jim was able to demonstrate his creativity and originality in his images across several genres.
