Two photograph competitions were held on
the same evening when Ivybridge & District Camera
Club met at Bittaford for their last Tuesday meeting
in September.
The Sports Photographer
of the Year Competition, which is colour print only
and the brand new Eric Foster Memorial Challenge Cup,
which is monochrome only, dovetailed agreeably together
to provide a full evening’s entertainment and
a demanding task for Plymouth judge, Eric Cawsey, who
kindly agreed to judge the photographs for us.
The Sports Photographer
of the Year was judged to be Keith Miller with his ‘Flat
Out’, a dramatic motocross image taking first
place. Second position was awarded to Ivybridge member
Geoff Brimblecombe with ‘Round the Bend’
a sidecar and bike shot. Colin Lennox-Jones, also from
Ivybridge, took the third accolade with a high speed
motor event and spectators in a shower of dust. Eric
Cawsey also liked a number of close runners-up and awarded
Colin Lennox-Jones and Keith Miller with a Highly Commended
each. Neil Doggett and Geoff Brimblecombe were each
awarded a Commended rank.
Geoff Brimblecombe
also did well in the Eric Foster Memorial Challenge
Cup taking both first and second positions with pictures
of Dartmoor gates and styles – the theme for this
competition. Neil Doggett took the third place with
two dogs guarding a gate. Once again judge Eric Cawsey
considered close runners-up for praise and Ivybridge
member Joyce Trussell won Highly Commended as did Keith
Mullin, also from Ivybridge. Keith also took a Commended
award as did Ivybridge member, David Rayner.
The Eric Foster
Memorial Challenge Cup, introduced to celebrate Eric’s
wonderful monochrome work over many years until his
sad passing away last November will now be an annual
monochrome event.
On October the 9th
guests Tony and Jenny Byram will be giving an audio-visual
presentation, an event not to be missed. Although the
club normally meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays
in the month, just a week later on the 16th October
we will be holding the second of the year’s Challenge
Cup Competitions. The final meeting for October is on
the 23rd when we will be holding the last of the year’s
Digital Trophy competitions.
Visitors are always
welcome to our meetings held at the Community Hall,
Bittaford. This year’s programme, members’
photographs and much more are all available elsewhere
on this website.
