6th October
The 6th October was the date of judging of the 1st Open Competition. Our judge, Ed Cloutman, unfortunately couldn’t attend in person so back to Zoom we went . There were prints and digital sections for the first time since early 2020.
The print competition had 15 entries with street, landscapes, sport and wildlife genres. There were 10 prints held back. Two were commended images by Andy Watkin and Cheryl Hewitt, and 4 were highly commended by Dave Bolton , Ali Rees and 2 by Jan Sullivan.
The bronze award was given to 2 prints, “Chasing the light” by Gary Mayhew and “Sacred” by Gill Mackay.
The Silver position was taken by Dave Bolton with a firework shot “The Statue of Liberty” .
The Gold Award was given to Gill Mackay whose clever street photograph “Pigeon Post” captured a unique moment in time.
There were more digital entries, 21 in fact. Carefully checked over by Ed , who held back 10 entries , the zoom audience once again enjoyed a wide range of interesting material .
Three images were commended, work by Cheryl Hewitt, Jan Sullivan and Gary Mayhew.. Four images were highly commended , two each entered by Dave Bolton and John Whitehurst.
The Bronze was won by Jim Stobbart with an adder portrait “Predator shedding Skin” and he also took the Silver with a mouse photo “ Only room for two” .
The Gold was given to Liz Wallis for her action dog capture “Jump”
Well done to everyone who took the time to enter .
