Tuesday 24 October - Round 1 Digital Competition - Open

Our first competition of the season saw a good entry of 64 images across the three classes.  The theme was Open which made the task of our EAF judge, Jane Barrett ARPS, DPAGB, BPE5, evener harder.  This was Jane's first visit to Wayland and we were grateful that she was prepared to travel to us from Essex.

Starting with the six entries in Members class, Jane identified the strengths and weaknesses of each image and suggested tips to try in the future.  The images in the Intermediate class took a bit more sorting out and Jane held back nine before awarding them scores of 19 or 20.

After the break came 32 images in the Advanced class.  As with the previous images, there was a wide variety of topics on show.  Jane gave her assessment of each one before holding back 13 images which were awarded 19 or 20.
