Very many thanks to Peter for his excellent judging for both the Panels and Open Prints.
Panels comprise between three and eight prints and there is quite an art to display them to their full advantage. We really appreciate the cost, time and effort that goes into making panels and the task we give the judge! Congratulations go to Judy Buckley-Sharp for her trophy winning ‘Stuttgart Lights’; Peter Polkinghorne’s ‘Looking Through’ was second and Mark Buckley-Sharp’s ‘Carnival People’ third.

Once again, many thanks to everyone who entered prints and supported this evening. Special thanks to Peter Cox for his erudite, informative and helpful commentaries which made the evening so enjoyable.
Next week we are on Zoom for projected Portrait/People and Open competitions which will be judged by Dave Stewart.
Very many thanks to Neil for his outstanding talk last night covering an overview of different aspects of his photography such as People and Street, ‘Candids’, Still Life, and concentrating on his Surreal Abstracts and Minimalism work. Neil spoke about having “obsessive ideas” such as Metallographs, Household Geometry, Frames and Red. He works in sets and highlighted where each image works best as a print rather than projected. It It was fascinating to see his minimalist, witty and beautifully photographed work. It was a truly enjoyable and inspiring evening.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to our members’ workshop.
These informal critique evenings are invaluable in helping us to improve and hone our skills by providing feedback in a positive and constructive way. It is also one of the benefits of being in a club where open discussion is encouraged.
Next week we are back on Zoom for a talk by Neil Scott – Minimalism My Way’.
In the meantime have a good week.
