Results 1st Open Print Competition

1st Open Print Competition
Tonight (7th Oct) saw the results of this season’s 1st Open Print Competition and the first one in almost 2 years. Tonight’s competition was judged by wildlife photographer and film maker Alan Hewitt.
 
Alan provided constructive and positive feedback on each of the prints which was well received by the members. With the wide range of subjects Alan had a difficult task to decide on the best prints.  
Congratulations go to Pauline and Tom Wilson who stole the show taking 1st place in both the mono and colour competitions. Congratulations also to Colin Livingstone who pulled off a “straight” in the mono completion, with 2nd, 3rd and 4th places.
At the end of the evening Alan stayed behind to talk to the members about the prints and provide additional feedback to individual members.
