Meetings are still suspended due to the Coronavirus but, following a period of deliberation by the committee and consultation with members, the digital section of the last two competitions of our regular season will go ahead.

There will be no print sections and no ‘Image of the Year’ competition this season as it is impossible to safely submit, handle and judge print entries.

Our thanks to Steve Woodley for agreeing to step in to judge the Open competition and we are delighted that Chris Nicholls is still judging the Close-up competition. The deadline for digital-only entries are Sunday 10th May for the Open and Sunday 24th May for Close-up.

We hope everyone is keeping well and enjoying the recent sunshine and warmer weather.

As you can see from the online gallery of Digital Art entries, there were some really imaginative images and a wide variety of subjects and styles.  We allocated 20 points to the first choice images, 15 to second and 10 to third, and the results are as follows:

Meetings are suspended due to the Coronavirus but we are able to proceed with the annual ‘Digital Art’ challenge. This is a standalone competition with its own trophy and is the chance for members to showcase their arty, quirky or experimental imagery.

All current paid-up members are invited to vote for your first, second and third choice images by clicking on the first image below to start a slideshow of the entries. Just click on the arrow on the right (or swipe on mobile devices) to scroll through the 32 images, or you may be able to use the Play button at the top to scroll automatically.

Barry Murphy visited us for the first time on Wednesday to judge the latest monthly competition, and his comments throughout contributed to an entertaining evening.

On Wednesday the Southern Photographic Society hosted the Western Photographic Society in the annual ‘Battle’ and enjoyed a narrow victory.

Our third Open competition of the season was judged by Sue Blythe on Wednesday 5th February.
