The fifth competition of the 2019-20 had been postponed from April due to the pandemic but was eventually held by zoom, on the evening of 27 August, the judge having been sent prints and PDIs for his deliberations.  

The judge was Rob de Ruiter, well known to club members, a distinguished and very experienced photographer, senior judge and President of the Bognor Regis Camera Club. He was welcomed by our chairman Martin Tomes.

The fourth competition night of the 2019-20 season took place on 20 February with Andrew Mills as our judge. He was warmly welcomed to our club by Janet Brown, our chair.

Ian Brash did a great job judging the Southdown 2020 competition. He reviewed all of the images and then marked them at the end.

Steyning came out on top this time and Storrington came fourth out of the five clubs which took part.

The third competition night of the 2019-20 season took place on 23 January with Paul Graber as our judge. He was warmly welcomed to our club by Janet Brown, our chair. 

First meeting of the new year started with Janet's Parish notes and then on with Martin’s talk about colour management.

This is something that I used to do before I got my iMac but since then I have not found it necessary for the standard of printing that I do these days, but my standards would not suit the likes of Liz and Janet and other very good photographers.

Our Chairman Janet did us all proud this evening. After a very few Parish notices, Norman announced the results of last months Flickr competition. Our top photographer, Liz (she has several very close contenders for the title, so she must ‘keep up’), took the top spot again, well done Liz.

Tables of four were set out and we sat ourselves down with whoever would have us, and there we found two sheets of paper for us to record answers to Janet’s quiz questions.

That all done and dusted, Janet started the first of her dastardly competitions.

The second competition night of the 2019-20 season took place on 5 December with David Eastley as our judge. He was warmly welcomed back to our club by Janet Brown, our chair.

We were pleased to welcome David Smith from Woking Camera Club to tell all about his experiences of and expertise in "Safari Photography". We also welcomed a fair number of visitors from Steyning Camera Club - proving just how popular nature photography is now.

David started by mentioning his camera kit - just one camera, a mirrorless Sony full frame job, and one lens, 150-400mm telephoto zoom. He had swopped from a Canon DSLR and lenses when the weight of his camera bag exceeded the luggage allowance on internal flights around the safari camps!

Sussex Photographic Federation PDI Championships was held on Saturday 16th November.
