The theme for January’s competition was “Abandoned” and it attracted a variety of subjects in states of ruin and disrepair.
The judge was local photographer Jimmy “Thistle” Weir who previously visited us to share some of his recent images and background stories in September.
Jimmy is a former commercial photographer and he gave concise but pointed feedback on each image, telling us what he particularly liked about each image and offering advice or asking questions from time to time.
The results were as follows:
Print Section:
1st: “Tired and Forgotten Landrover” by James Joyce – 20 points
=2nd: “Escher Erected Cancelled & Abandoned” by Gregg Warburton – 19 points
=2nd: “Washed Up” by Seamus Whelan – 19 points
Digital Section:
1st: “In Need of Renovation” by Anna Mayall – 19 points
=2nd: “Spot the Cat” by Steve Johnstone – 19 points
=2nd: “Ted” by James Joyce – 19 points
Congratulations to those with placed images and well done to everyone who entered their images and contributed to an engaging evening. All of the entries will be added to the Gallery section soon and the running scores will be updated in the Competitions section.
The next club night is Wednesday 31st January when professional portrait photographer Jason Kinrade will demonstrate a portrait shoot and the equipment and techniques he uses. He is looking forward to speaking to members and answering questions.
