& District Camera Club held the year’s third
digitally projected image competition recently –
a new competition and trophy to be won for the first
time this year, by the kind auspices of the National
Lottery. This is the final part of the award made to
the club last year which also enabled the club to purchase
the digital projector and other items.The
winner of the trophy is the highest scoring member over
the three competitions and will be announced at the
presentation evening and dinner in December, with the
trophy being presented by Deputy Mayor, Councillor Karen
Pringle.
Meanwhile, the third
leg held on 23rd October furnished first place to Competition
Secretary Keith Mullin with ‘Arches’, a
monochrome image taken under stone steps and arches.
Second place was gained by South Brent member Bob Pike
with ‘Spider Necklace’, a computer manipulation
of a dew-covered spider’s web, while third place
was taken by Keith Miller with an urban image entitled
‘Rain Reflections’.
On November 9th
the club held the Challenge from the Chair competition,
which this year had the subject of Farm Animals. There
was a large entry, particularly in the Colour Print
section but as the competition would be judged internally,
the Competition Secretary decided not to implement the
‘R’ rule to remove the third entry from
each competitor.
The Slide section
was won by Keith Miller with ‘Goat’, a really
crisp and well exposed profile. Keith also took third
place with an image of a sheep and her lamb called ‘Family
Portrait’. Second place was awarded to Ivybridge
member Colin Wilkins with ‘Tasty Grass’
which depicted a mountain cow licking her lips.
Bob Pike’s
‘Working Horse’ portrait won the Monochrome
section, while Keith Mullin took second place with ‘Horses
Ploughing a Field’. ‘Sepia Cow’ by
David Rayner from Ivybridge shared joint third with
‘Pig’s Tail’ by Neil Doggett, also
from Ivybridge.
The Colour Print
section was won by David Rayner with ‘A Slurry
of Reflections’, an image of cows under a blue
winter sky reflected in a farmyard pool. South Brent
member John Taylor took second place with a crisp close
up entitled ‘Smiler Pig’, while Sylvia Wilson
from Ivybridge shared joint third with Geoff Brimblecombe,
also from Ivybridge, with ‘Highland Cattle’
and ‘Dog Patrol’ respectively.
The remaining Tuesdays
in November all have meetings, while our AGM and the
Best of Year Competition finishes the year’s club
meetings on December 4th. The first meeting of 2008
will be a digitally projected image competition on January
the 8th. 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.
