2nd Open Competition
Tenby Camera Club kicked off the New Year with an excellent 2nd Open Competition. Unfortunately the weather had taken a turn for the worse with floods, gales and snow. This had a severe impact on the audience numbers to appreciate the 18 print entries and 36 Digital images entered. Our chosen judge, who luckily lives locally, was Ross Grieve. Ross is a well known professional photographer who specialises in portraiture, weddings and street photography. He has a wealth of experience which he utilised in his constructive critique.
