Tuesday 28th November - Print Competition - Round 1

Some photographers say you haven't finished until you produce a print.  Luckily a good number of our members agree and we had a good show of prints on display last night.  Perhaps a few of our less experienced members need a little more help and encouragement to venture into the world of print as there were only 4 entries in the Members class.  

We welcomed back Naomi Saul to judge this competition.  Starting with the Members class Naomi talked through the strengths and weaknesses of each print.  Previewing the prints when they were on display on stands at the back of the hall is one thing but Naomi commented on the prints coming to life when viewed on the illuminated print stand.  Across the Intermediate and Advanced classes, 15 prints were held back before Naomi settled on the ones worthy of full marks.
