Stamford and Rutland Photographic Society
Meets every 3rd Thursday of the month at Great Casterton Church Hall
Everybody took advantage of the breadth of this category and some very varied, interesting and unusual photographs were submitted.
We’re still waiting for some of these to be shared, but as soon as I have them I’ll update the page.
First in the individual competition was Dave H with this great monochrome. (Sorry Dave, I can’t remember which abbey it is.)
1st Individual. Dave Hodson.
1st in the group competition was Chris with more monochromes. ‘Stairs’
June Competition – Weather:
Apologies for any errors or omissions. I wasn’t present at the June meeting, so all images are from Dropbox, assuming that your first image was the individual entry. Positions are from the scoring spreadsheet. I can adjust anything that’s not quite right.
INDIVIDUAL RESULTS
1st was Dave Hodson with this fabulous close-up:
2nd was Tom with this stunning image of Normanton Church during the recent Northern Light display.
Iain Evans came 3rd with this ‘golden-hour’ coastal scene.
4th was Nigel. (Sorry Nigel, I don’t have your images).
GROUP RESULTS:
Tom’s Group Entry
Apologies for the delay in publishing these results:
This month’s competition subject – projected digital images of “bottles” – prompted some inventive entries.
In first place was Nigel Hume with this well-thought-out still life.
Second was Tom’s smouldering wine rack.
In joint third were Dave’s decanter and Chris Read’s brown bottles. Fourth was Chris with ancient medicine bottles.
The Society’s Annual Portrait Competition was judged by David Hollingsworth from North East Midland Photographic Federation who provided an excellent critique of the 56 images which members presented.
In first place with “Isla” was Veronica Watson. David described this image as having excellent skin tones and the angle of the head looking across the across from the camera provided a very good composition.
In second place one of our new members with Jayne Williams with “Matt and Emmie”. This mono image had a strong composition with the two subjects engaged and good contrasts right across the image.
In third place was Sheila Rodgers with her image of the unusual Verreaux’s Eagle Owl with a nicely blurred background of the head which filled the frame.
