Presentation Night
21/04/22
As another season draws to a close tonight was the club presentation night celebrating the top images entered in this season’s PDI and Print Competitions. Certificates were presented for the top three images from each club competition with a reminder of each image projected on the screen. An additional special award was presented to Alec Cowley for achieving the highest score in the NCPF North Tyne competition with his Sky Tunnel image.
Awards and medals were also presented to the highest overall scoring members from each competition and finally the overall Photographer of the Year. This year the winners were:

Bob Finlay      Chris Crane Cup

Paul Kidd        PDI Photographer of the Year

Derek Parker   Colour Print Photographer of the Year

Paul Dunn       Mono Print Photographer of the Year

Paul Dunn       Photographer of the Year
​
The presentations were followed by a finger buffet for the attending members.

This year the event will be held at the church. A small buffet will be provided.

Tonight we had the results of the Chris Crane Cup. Unfortunately due to Covid the judge, Martin Kitching was unable to be present so he submitted a commentary on the five best images. 

There were a total of 48 images submitted in the themes of Chris’s favourite subjects: landscapes, engineering and wildlife. Martin commented there were many images that had the attraction of a successful image - one that always holds your attention and makes you keep coming back to it. 

This year the judge was was asked to select the top five images rather than in previous years just have the winner announced. 

The results were

5th place        Skyline                              Colin Livingston
4th place        Low clouds on Skye       Paul Kidd
3rd place        Dung-fly on umbellifer   Jim Meikle
2nd place       Stay away                        Paul Kidd
WINNER        Quayside sunset             Bob Finlay

Congratulations to Bob for such a super winning image and thanks to all the members who submitted images and to Martin for undertaking the judging.
