“Stamford & Nearby” was the subject for the Society’s first Competition of 2012 and , out of the many images on view, the ones submitted by Michael Jarman from Barnack were judged to be the best. He not only achieved top marks in the Individual Print section but was also placed first in the Group of Four images competition. Many excellent and ‘different’ shots of Stamford were shown and members’ pictures will be submitted to Walkers Books for consideration for use in the 2014 Stamford Calendar.
After the competition – and a lively discussion as to where many of the pictures had been taken – Society Secretary Dave Baxter gave a talk on ‘Street Photography’ followed by one on the production of an Audio Visual show by Crowland-based member Simon Hinchliffe.
The next meeting of the Society will take place on Thursday 16th February at 8 pm in Great Casterton Church Hall. There is no formal topic for the competitions that night so members can chose whatever images they want. Society Chairman John Hillier from Barrowden will conclude proceedings with a talk titled “Galapagos Interlude”.
Anyone interested in photography of whatever skill level is invited to attend and further details can be found on the updated web site www.stamford-photosoc.org.uk or from Dave Baxter 01780 751 849.
