10th March

The Third of March saw Tenby Camera Club members zoom to watch the Carmarthen Photographic Society 4 way Battle. The four clubs competing were Tenby CC, Carmarthen PS, Newquay CC and Cardigan CC. Each club had to enter 10 images, 2 only from a chosen genre. Tenby chose Sport, Colour open, Macro, Nature and Mono. The 40 images were judged by Diane Seddon of Cleethorpes CC , who appreciated the wide range of genres presented to her.

Tenby CC scored 174 out of 200, giving them first place. Newquay was close behind with 172 points . Carmarthen was 3rd with 163 points and Cardigan fourth with 157.

Diane chose her Best Image which was by Tenby’s Ali Rees “Mesmerised” . Dave Bolton had the 3rd Best image with ‘Face To Face” .


Thanks were given to Carmarthen PS for hosting an enjoyable competition .


On the 10th March, experienced judge Clive Tanner, FRPS, MPAGB, APAGB, joined us on Zoom to judge our annual Mono Competition. With 56 excellent entries Clive carefully critiqued each one, saying how the image could be improved, for instance, with cropping or adjusting contrast.
With nature, architecture, portraits, street and landscapes all represented, fourteen photographs were held back for further consideration.

Landscapes took the top three slots with Dave Bolton being awarded the Gold and Silver medals. The Gold Medal was for “Lifeboat Launch” and Silver for “Mackerel Skies” , both being taken in the beautiful Tenby. The Bronze medal was given to Liz Wallis for “On the banks of Loch Awe”







There were 4 highly commended images going to Gill MacKay, Paul RIchards, Cheryl Hewitt and Liz Wallis.

There were seven Commended images from Dave Bolton (2), Andy Watkin, Charlie Kidd, Dave Lewis, Gill MacKay and John Whitehurst.
