Tuesday 28th June – Image of the Year

For the first time in nearly three years we were able to hold both a print and a digital competition. There was only one class in each category and members could submit one of each. We welcomed Andy Swain as our judge who had the difficult task of selecting a first, second and third and any highly commended or commended images that he felt warranted such an accolade. 

Andy was fair and consistent in his comments from which, if nothing else, members learnt how important the mount was!!

It was also significant as for the first time we used the new print stand which was not only very stable but showed the prints brilliantly. Thanks to committee member Jack Mitchell for making the extended top for the projector stand.

There were 28 digital images and 20 prints.

The winning images are shown below.
