7th October

Tenby Camera Club held it’s first internal competition on the 7th October. The First Open, where there are no restrictions on the genre or style, had an excellent 63 images entered. The judge tasked with critiquing the entries was the experienced Brian Coleman. This season the club is trialing a new approach to scoring. Scores are given by the judge but not announced, with just comments and critique being given. Brian had to decide and award Gold, Silver, Bronze places as well as Highly Commended and Commended . The quality of all the images were impressive, but Brian still discussed how small adjustments could help to enhance the image and story. There were birds, insects, sports, animals, castles, flowers and portraits. Plenty of variety to be enjoyed.

Brian held back 17 images from which he gave 8 highly commended and 6 commended .

Highly Commended Certificates were won by Nicky Rhodes ( 2) , Cheryl Hewitt, Jan Sullivan, Paul Richards, Charlie Kidd, John Whitehurst and Liz Wallis.

Commended Certificates were given to Charlie Kidd (2), Nicky Rhodes, Dave Lewis, Caroline Pickett and Jan Sullivan.

The Gold Medal was given to Cheryl Hewitt with an insect portrait “Morning Paddle”. The Silver Medal was also won by Cheryl Hewitt, again an insect photograph “Twins” . The Bronze Medal was given to Paul Richards “Sanderling running from the Waves” .














An excellent start to the competition season .
