On Wednesday 8th January, Dennis Wood judged our “Shadows & Silhouettes” competition.
Dennis is a long-term member and former Chairman of the Western Photographic Society and his experience showed as he assessed 29 prints and 40 digital images, offering in-depth critique and advice throughout.
A wide range of subjects and styles were on show – covering everything from still life to landscapes, seascapes, architecture and people – with scores ranging from 14 to the maximum 20 for three images.
The results were as follows:
Print section:
1st: Reach for the Sky by Andrea Thrussell – 20 points
2nd: Silhouettes, Shadows & Lines by John Keelan – 19 points
3rd: Sunset Silhouette by Lesley Cullen – 19 points
Digital section:
1st: Fork Shadows by Sue Clegg – 20 points
2nd: Serenity by Jim Gibson – 20 points
3rd: In The Shadows by Andrea Thrussell – 19 points
Chair Andrea Thrussell gave the vote of thanks to Dennis and congratulated everyone on their ideas and imagination for this theme.
The next meeting on Wednesday 22nd January is a club night with a presentation about sports and action photography. Four members will be sharing their images and advice for capturing sports and action images, including team sports, water sports and motorsport. Guests are very welcome and we start at 7.45pm.
