| Members
were pleased to welcome Mr Les Bennet from Launceston
Camera Club on Tuesday 11th October to judge the second
Challenge Cup competition of the year.
Once again the
number of images entered was high, almost 60, and attendance
on the night was correspondingly high too. The club
was also pleased to welcome two more new faces.
Over half of
the entries were colour prints, as has become normal
now that so many members are working digitally and can
so produce colour prints at home without recourse to
expensive colour processing equipment and chemicals.
Mr Bennet judged
the entries critically but with plenty of constructive
comments for some of our aspiring photographers. Many
of the photographs were well received and some singled
out as examples of expert attention to detail - not
only in taking the original photograph, but also in
the printing and presentation of the image.
Robin Empsall
from Ivybridge took first place in the Monochrome section
with an intriguing image a woman peering into an old
building and entitled ‘curiosity’. Second
position was won with a nude study taken by Geoff Miller
of Ivybridge and Peter Pearce from Bittaford gained
third with a photograph of a traction engine.
Keith Miller
of Ivybridge took first place in the Colour Print section
with his photo of three motorcross racers battling for
a winning position. Second place was taken by Steve
Cleave of South Brent with a dramatic and moody photograph
of a landscape on the Isle of Skye. Third position went
to Colin Wilkins from Ivybridge with a rainbow filled
Purley Brook. Mr Bennet also awarded a Highly Commended
position to Bernard Howley from Saltash for his image
of a pelican.
David Rayner
of Ivybridge won first place in the Slide section with
an early morning picture of the Barbican Quayside. Keith
Miller, also from Ivybridge took both the second and
third positions, one with a high flying motorcyclist
and the other with a fungus.
The next meeting
will be at 7.30 p.m. on Tuesday October 25th at the
new community hall, Bittaford when Ivybridge CC will
be hosting the annual 3-Way Battle between themselves
and local photographic clubs Wembury and Kingsbridge.
Mrs Ann Owens from Liskeard & District Camera Club
will be judging the event. As always, visitors are welcome
to attend and further information plus directions are
available elsewhere on this club website.
