Camera Club members have recently been treated to showings
of a travelling portfolio of the finest slides and prints
selected from the whole of the Westcountry region’s
photographic club’s best images.
Every club may
enter a few of their best images to the Western Counties
Photographic Federation competition and these are then
whittled down to 100 images for each portfolio, so members
were keen to see if entries from Ivybridge Camera Club
had been selected. Only the top twenty images are officially
ranked, so anyone’s work getting into the top
twenty is especially sought after.
The print evening
took place on November 22nd and the Slide Portfolio
a week earlier, when members were accompanied by a number
of spouses and friends.
Ivybridge succeeded
in getting all three of their allowed images into both
the portfolios, in itself a good result. In the Slide
Portfolio Keith Mullin of Ivybridge came 12th place
with his dog on a bicycle entitled On Guard. Keith Miller
of Ivybridge just missed the top 20 with his Canadian
Ground Squirrel entitled Animal Magic and Dave Rayner,
also from Ivybridge was placed around 70 with a view
of a beach sculpture looking out to sea.
In the Print
Portfolio the club again achieved the coveted ‘top
twenty’ with Ivybridge photographer, Eric Forster’s
unique monochrome-plus-one-colour portrait of a woman
with red hair making 17th place. Keith Miller’s
Fallen Rider and an image of two terns by Bernard Howley
of Saltash both narrowly missed the top 20 placing.
The next meeting
will be 7.30pm on Tuesday the 6th December at the new
Community Hall, Bittaford, when the club will hold its
AGM and the Best of Year Competition. As always, visitors
are welcome to attend and further information plus directions
are available elsewhere on this website
