This was our first competition of the season.
We had 69 entries submmited, so I was looking forward to a good evening of judging. Our judge of the evening was Rob de Ruiter LRPS.
Rob had brought in some prints from his portfolio for us to see before he judged our work, this is always good and I would like to see more judges do this as it is always good and interesting to see their work and to compare your own on level and style. Rob had a good collection of work of plant life, and graffiti from Chichester, all of a high level. The judging of the night was of a high standard with rob explaining, in depth, what worked with in the image what could in his opnion make the image stronger. He did start the evening by saying that black and white photos were not his favorite, however this was a medium that scored well during the evening
There were eleven 18s, Six 19s Five 20s awarded.
A well done to Ray Foxlee topping the evening with a combined score of 56 out of a possible 60, two of his images being black white.
The best projected image of the evening was awarded to Daisy Kane for 'Aah! Bliss!'.
