We engaged in our first Battle of the 2021/22 season which was against Swindon Photographic Society and Highworth Camera Club and hosted by Swindon PS. This was an unscheduled event due to the previous combatants having been unable to take part due to the impact of covid upon their Clubs activities.

Each Club submitted 20 Open subject images and the challenging task of judging the entries went to Tony Oliver from Salisbury Camera Club. After the first half in which 10 images from each Club were viewed randomly and scored out of 20 points, RWB lay comfortably in second place. After the remaining images were judged the final scores were;1st Swindon PS 337 points; 2nd RWBCC 320 points and 3rd Highworth CC 317 points. So a closely fought and enjoyable evening that included some very high quality images.

Finally congratulations to Jon Bastin from RWBCC who achieved a maximum score for his image ” Wiltshire hare without a care”.

Our next meeting on January 18th is a Zoom presentation of Photographing the Night Sky by Pete Colley
