Our first competition round of the new season comprised two competitions with “Open” subject and a themed competition ” Telling a story”. Julie Kaye from Hanham Camera Club kindly agreed to judge the print and projected image entries and the membership contributed a very healthy input of entries.

The print entries were viewed firstly and it soon became clear that the theme of Telling a story proved to be very challenging to fully comply with but some creative attempts were evident. The winning print was “Two Seasons”, a diptych from Jim Bullock and Jim also won the Open print section with “Orchid Flowers”

After a short break we then viewed the 55 projected images and the judge patiently provided a critique of each image before selecting “Red Kite eyeballing” by Dave Garmont as the Open winner and “Amateur Dramatics” by Rob Slade as the themed competition winner. Our next meeting is a Macrophotography practical evening.
