| With
the Ivybridge & District Camera Club season well
under way, the turn into October saw members hold a
pair of meetings just a week apart. First was the annual
Sport Print competition for which there was a good selection
of photographs submitted this year. Judging was by members
using voting slips and while counting of the votes was
undertaken, Ivybridge members David Rayner and Colin
Wilkins invited members to discuss merits or otherwise
of the prints entered, which resulted in a full and
enjoyable critique session.
In this competition
there is only the one category – mounted prints.
Geoff Brimblecombe from Ivybridge won first place with
a stunning print of a horse over the fence entitled
‘A Clear Round’. Ivybridge member Kevin
Miller took second place with ‘Spreading the Dirt’,
a motocross scene with dynamic action. Third place was
taken by Plymouth member Ann Owens with a carriage team
crossing a stream with water flying from their hooves.
The following week
a good turnout of members and visitors arrived for the
5th Digital Practical evening to learn about preparing
images for digital projection – a new competition
class to be held next year – and to take part
in a revision-based workshop.
After tea break
Club Chairman Keith Miller explained the intricacies
of action photography and panning with the use of a
series of sporting slides.
The next meeting
is the Challenge Cup Competition on Tuesday 10th October
judged by Teignmouth photography expert Mr Ken Holland
APRS DPAGB. After this, the meeting entitled ‘Against
the Grain’, a rule-breaking evening on October
24th will be held alongside an unmounted 5x7 competition.
Visitors are welcome to attend either event from 7:30
pm at the Community Hall, Jubilee Terrace, Bittaford.
