& District Camera Club members can pat themselves
on the back after a resounding success in getting all
three of their photographs selected for the Western
Counties Photographic Federation’s travelling
portfolio. Robin Empsall, Keith Mason and Chairman,
Keith Miller, all from Ivybridge, had prints selected.
Robin’s ‘Venice
Canal’ was the first to appear during a showing
of the portfolio on November 21st and was welcomed by
a big show of hands. Keith Mason’s ‘Tower
Bridge’ came next, then finally, selected in 11th
place out of 100, we were treated to Keith Miller’s
‘The Chase is On’, a dynamic motocross composition.
The following week’s
meeting went with a bang as members enjoyed the Chairman’s
Challenge Cup competition for which the theme this year
was ‘Having a Laugh’.
Ivybridge member
David Rayner won the Slide section with an image titled
‘Bang’ showing a large cannon ready to be
fired near an equally large lady with fingers in her
ears. Keith Miller took second place whilst Keith Mullin
from Ivybridge ended up with three slides all equally
placed in third position, the result of an unusual quirk
of the points scoring scheme used for this competition.
The Colour Print
section was won by Graham Buckler from Ivybridge with
an outstanding child portrait image entitled ‘Isla
and Thalia’. Second place was awarded to Ivybridge
member Tony Clements for his ‘Happy Snappers in
the Photo Hunt’ and third position was taken by
Clive Brown, also from Ivybridge, with ‘Never
work with Animals or Children’.
Keith Mullin’s
I’m not Laughing’, an amusing composition
involving a stone dog statue stealing a lady’s
handbag took first place in the Black and White section,
while second was gained by David Rayner’s ‘Double
Take’. Third position was taken by Keith Mullin
with an unusual view of children looking down a roof
vent.
On the 5th December
we will hold our AGM followed by the Best of Year competition
and the following week we will hold the presentation
dinner when members will discover how well they have
done throughout the year and receive any awards.
Visitors are welcome to attend any meeting from 7:30
pm at the Community Hall, Jubilee Terrace, Bittaford.
