Thursday 8th December

The Club and Intermediate Print competition rounds got off to a flying start last night with judge Tony Oliver.  Tony had closed the Beginner and Intermediate print season back in March and it was good to have him back.  He’s a member of the Salisbury Camera Club, holds his ARPS, CPAGB and BPE2* – this last being an award for images included in the British Photographic Exhibitions. Tony is also the President of the Southern Counties Photographic Federation.  He makes a positive judge, with constructive comments, and very much enjoys a picture with a story or a little mystery, yet even handed cross the genres.

The highest scoring images of the evening in Club class were very different. Richard Ryder scored two 10’s, both with portraits – if of rather different subjects. Terence Powling’s 10 was for a ‘treated’ street-scape, while Helenka Boden’s macro winner was of a of a fly on a flower.

In intermediate, Joan Barnham also took two tens, one a landscape from the Dingle Peninsular, the second a street view, while Ed Feldmanis’s scene for Hong Kong Harbour at Night scored 10 and just pipped Angela Acland’s New York city view at 9.5.

Ed Feldmanis won 10 points for Hong Kong Harbour at Night
