24th April
Tenby Camera Club is keeping up it’s activities in these worrying times with many members housebound and in isolation.
We held a mini competition on our Facebook page with the subject being “Food Glorious Food” . There were some fantastic images showing members creativity and skills. Our judge for this was experienced member Dave Bolton, who is a very creative photographer himself and well placed to perform this task.
Dave highly commended 5 images out of the 35 images, and then placed 3 more . In 3rd place was Ella Thomas with “A dust of sugar” and in in 2nd place was John Whitehurst with “ Has to be the best, Boiled Egg & soldiers ..Yummy” The 1st place was given to Ray Hornett and his “Food Glorious Food” . A super message spelt out in fruit & vegetables.
Our formal programme of events is now coming to a close for this season . The results of the 3rd Open competition was announced on the Facebook page with videos and photo albums. The judge, Peter Young also made a critique video going through the digital entries as if we were in club ! Not an ideal situation but better than just reading the results on the website.
Although the presentation of the results was unconventional, the standard of entries were as usual of a very high standard with many genres captured with excellent skills. Peter Young stepped up to the plate using his extensive experience as a judge .
The print section ( the prints being delivered to the judge prior to Lockdown ) was well supported with 18 prints from 9 photographers .
Seven images were held back, one was commended “Take a seat & watch the sunrise” by Cheryl Hewitt and three were highly commended. They were “Blue tit” & “Fearless Robin Frenzy” both by John Whitehurst and “Missed the Ball” by Ali Rees.
The placed images were 3rd “Girl in the Tunnel” and 2nd “Quiet Moment” , excellent Street photography both by Gill Mackay. In 1st place was a stunning surfing capture “Breaking Through” by Ali Rees .
The Digital section was also well supported with 28 images from 14 photographers . Nine images were held back, four were commended. They were “Action Man” by Ali Rees , “Who’s there” by Dave Marriott , “It’s Springtime” by Jan Sullivan and “Tate Modern Stairs” by Gill Mackay.
Two were highly commended , those being, “Marloes Sands” by Mick Halligan and “Burnett Moths Mating’ by Cheryl Hewitt.
In third place was Liz Wallis and “The Quilt Maker”, and in second place with “The Old General Store” was Roy Peters . Gill Mackay gained the top spot with her “Down the Steps”, a fine black & white Street scene .
The next and last scheduled competition results will be the prestigious Print and Digital Photographs of the Year . The entries are the placed photographs from all the externally judged competitions throughout the 2019/2020 Season . Of course , this will produce a competition of impressively high standards . Again the results will be posted on our Facebook page so if you want to see them all, then consider joining Tenby Camera Club. Joining the club will give you access to the private Facebook page where our competitions are held at the moment.
