27th November: Digital Competition Round 2 - Natural History

Over 40 of us supported this meeting and we saw nearly 60 images in this natural history competition.  Our judge was Adrian Stone from Peterborough and he offered insightful and constructive comments on each projected image.  Adrian’s comments on the technical aspects of our photographs were helpful and encouraging.  On top of this, his knowledge of a wide range of natural history subjects (from Calliphora Vomitoria to a traffic sign!) made for an interesting and entertaining evening.

Thanks to all members who entered images.  Those scoring 19 and 20 are below.
