2018-19 Season: Competition 1: PDIs

The first internal competition of the 2018-19 season took place on Tuesday 25th September and was judged by Dave Stewart. A total of 62 images were submitted by 21 members. The following table shows the scores received by each member and the total for their best two. Congratulations to Judy Hodgson, Ian Haskell and Duncan Kirkwood who were awarded the maximum score of 20 for images they submitted and to Judy for the highest total.

PDI size increases to 1600x1200 this season

Our rules for Projected Digital Images (PDI), submitted to internal or external competitions, have previously specified that they should be sized to 1400x1050 pixels. However, the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB) and their associated federations, including North & East Midlands Photographic Federation (N&EMPF) to which we are affiliated, have adopted a new, larger size: 1600x1200 pixels. If we wish to submit images submitted to our internal competitions to any external event, they are going to have to conform to the new specifications.

COMP.6 PDI Results and full results from the season

18 Members entered 54 PDI images and the top 20 scores are 'Black Hairstreak' from Peter Malton and' Morning Hare' from Ian Haskell. The judge was Alan Young FRPS.EFIAP.DPAGB AND BPE4*. This is now the end of season for all the internal Competition entries and the Print Competition was won by Ian Haskell and very close by Stuart Ball and Colin Bradshaw. The PDI Winner also came from Ian Haskell and was joined by Peter Malton. The Comp6. results and the full competition results are on display with the top 20 pictures.

Bill Dunn Memorial - Creative Competition 2018

It hardly seems a year since the last Bill Dunn Memorial competition. However, the entries rolled in from members of eight local clubs. The judge this year was Sarah Kelman A.R.P.S. of Cambridge who had a very clear idea of what that word creative means. She was looking for that "something special" in the idea behind the image, whether it was projected or a print.

Graham Williams of City CC won the coveted first place with "Green Energy", looking after the hand carved trophy for one year. He also had a Commended award for his print "A World of Images".
