Meeting 26 January – Shoot A Theme

Our first meeting of 2010 was to hold a new competition for the club – ‘Shoot a Theme’.

Members were invited to submit up to three prints or digital images each on the subject of this year’s theme, ‘Water’.

There were 28 entries in all, 16 prints and 12 digital images. There was a wide interpretation of the subject matter covering all types and states of water.

Members judged the winner themselves, awarding marks out of 15 for each entry. The judging criteria included creativity, composition and ‘do I like it?’. The marking was done by secret ballot and this turned out very interesting exercise in club democracy!

After all the marks were added up the winner, by a clear margin, was Norman who entered a stunning image taken from within a pod on the London Eye.

Here’s the winning entry:

Congratulation to Norman who wins the new trophy for the year. Well done also to the runners-up, Brian C, Linda, Keith and Gillian.

A very enjoyable evening, using all our new toys!
