This season’s Programme includes regular competitions for colour prints, monochrome prints and digital projected images as well as a number of fun competitions which every member can enter. In addition, we have a Practical Photography Group which meets once a month and this will cover many aspects of digital imaging. In addition, there are a number of studio photography sessions with models.

Away Match v. Woodley

posted by Danny Callcut in External Competitions

Our hosts for the print and digital image competition this evening were Woodley Camera Club.  The judge was Peter Noble from Henley-on-Thames whose travel and portrait photographs have been published worldwide.

Our judge had some very interesting comments which will doubtless be discussed for many an evening to come, and was not afraid to dole out the odd mark of 11 or 12.

Despite believing that Tony Bates' 'Sumatran Tiger' was either stuffed or dead (!), he still gave Whitchurch Hill the upper hand in both the Print and Digital rounds.
