Camera club reflect on busy autumn
THE MEMBERS of Shepshed and District Camera Club had a busy second half of their autumn term with several talks and the final competition league round for 2019.
Club members Pete Richardson and Angela Edwards each provided an evenings entertainment, Pete leading a practical evening where members endeavoured to create slow motion and speeded up sequences, the results from which caused some hilarity and Angela presented a comprehensive presentation of photographs taken during her visits to Jamaica covering various aspects of life there.
Local landscape photographer Bill Allsop visited the club in November with an excellent presentation of photographs he had taken locally, most of them in the Peak District, and Brian Negus, an ex member of the club, followed on from the earlier practical evening when he gave an excellent talk about speeding up and slowing down time photographically.
The final competition of 2019 was judged by Peter Cheetham who selected a print entitled ‘Ashmoleum Museum Staircas’e by Alan Harris as the winning entry in the Architecture class followed by entries from Angela Edwards, Garry Rennocks and Brian Walbey. The Open class for digital images was won with ‘We Admire Each Other’ by Jason Ametrine followed by entries from Garry Rennocks, Angela Edwards and Sue Hutton.
In mid December the club held its Annual Dinner and Awards Presentation at the Pied Bull and after a very good meal Alan Harris collected the trophy as overall winner of the Competition League for 2019. Following close behind were Garry Rennocks and Angela Edwards.
Meetings begin again for the spring term at the Council Offices, Charnwood Road, Shepshed on January 7, more details can be found on the Club website at http://www. shepsh ed camera club. co.uk or by telephone on 07733 314605.
