Camera club competition
AFTER its Christmas break Shepshed & District Camera Club returned from to St Botolph’s Church Hall for the first meeting of 2023.
On Tuesday January 10, Mandy Sheringham, from Sileby Photographic Society, gave an interesting talk on her trip to Sri Lanka in 2020 showing pictures of the people, architecture and wildlife.
The meeting on January 17 was a Macro Photography Practical Evening. Club members took multiple photographs of an object and the used Photo Stacking to produce a single photograph.
The first round of the clubs League competition for 2023 took place on January 24 with a themed category of “Scapes” (Digital) and the Open category (Printed). A high standard of photograph’s was entered into both categories and after some constructive comments and a lot of consideration the judge, David Gibbins, chose the following;
PDI: Scapes: First: Mick Jelly - Charnwood Dawn; Second: Mick Jelly - To Manhattan; Third: Alan Harris - Foggy Day in Bradgate Park; HC - Pete Richardson - Purnululu Sunset, John Loan Clarke - Fading Away
Prints: Open: 1st Mick Jelly - Trident; 2nd: Pete Richardson - Osprey with Catch; 3rd: Chris Coxon - Bikers; HC Alan Harris - Train, Jamie Humphrey - Nuthatch.
The photograph’s can be viewed on the club’s website.
