DamselFlies High

Meeting Report

The second print competition of the season saw Malcolm Bull adjudicateour images. Malcolm originates from Essex, but now resides in Shoreham and is a member of Steyning Camera Club, you can view Malcom's work on Flickr.

Malcolm is new to the judging circuit, having completed a judging course last year in the hope that understanding judging he would have a better idea of what judges are looking for in regards to his own images.

Malcolm started slowly; slightly nervous but understandable considering the minimal experience he has of judging and the rivalry between Steyning and Storrington. However, he was soon into his stride, providing critique on his likes and dislikes of elements within images only lapsing into the habit that many judges have, of describing images when they are stuck for words. Overall, Malcolm made good judgement calls and ended with a fair result.

A total of 62 images were submitted with the scores broken down as follows:

20 4
19 6
18 8
17 14
16 12
15 8
14 10

Once again we have a consistent range of marks, not over scored at the higher end and on par with the previous print competition
