29th September
A close fought 8 Way Battle was held on the 22nd September, making a very entertaining experience for members and supporters from the competing clubs. Each club entered 10 digital images which were carefully critiqued by judge Rob Mitchell . The subjects ranged from wildlife to creative with many unusual images all of a high standard . Rob gave only two images the maximum mark of 20. Tenby’s John Whitehurst was one with his “Starling Flight” and Kidwelly’s Yvonne Pugh with “Dinner Time” was the other. Yvonne’s image was given the accolade of Best Image of the Competition.
All through the judging clubs were neck & neck but Tenby finally managed to get one point ahead at the final post. With Tenby in first place, Afan Nedd took second place and Kidwelly third.
Thanks were given to all the clubs for entering and attending and to Rob Mitchell for his humorous style of judging . Everyone was treated to a lovely buffet provided by Tenby Camera Club members.
A new workshop concept is being tried out this season. Tenby’s new programme secretary Dave Bolton has set up several workshops throughout the year to learn & improve studio and portrait work . The first of these workshops was held on the 29th September. Aided by equipment donated by members Ray Hornett and Kitty Brittain, three work stations were set up with lights and backdrops. Members volunteered to be models, while help and advice was given by several members with experience in this field. As well as Dave Bolton, Dave Lewis, Adrian Lowe-Wheeler , Mark Saunders and Ray Hornett helped set up and controlled the action ! It was an excellent interactive evening with members sharing hints & tips with laughter and encouragement .There were some excellent images posted to members on the club’s facebook page. The next session will be on the 10th November.
