We hadn't done anything like this for a long time, we had a knockout competition judged by the members. The rules were so simple as to be almost non-existent, each member could enter up to three prints of any age, but they had to be mounted on a 500x400mm mount. Two prints were shown at a time and the members voted on which one they thought was best.
Set Subjects, always a tricky one! You either love them or hate them but they do challange!
Chairman Anne arrived armed with at least three large bags of goodies and Audrey was already there setting out her wonderful mince pies.
Soon, Liz arrived to prepare and start heating the punch and we then set out the room with several tables with four chairs each. These had a coloured sticker on it and as the members arrived, Jean,recruited for the purpose, dished out at random coloured stickers for each member to display on their chests.
Thus, several teams of four all sat at separate tables for the quiz questions, composed by Anne and assisted by the charismatic Alex.
Our second PI competetion started with our new club projector, so once set up and tested showing good results we could look forward to a good evening of images with out any hiccups.
Our Judge for the night was Bob Webzell ARPS, We had another good turn out for this competition with 63 images to see.
Well, This report is very late due to some slight hiccups at the start of the year.
The first print competition of the season saw Carole SpeightARPS return to adjudicate our images. Carole is a member of Chichester Camera Club.
On Tuesday evening we participated with Worthing (hosts) and Steyning in the Mix Match Competition.
I normally write my reports in bed the morning following, with a mug of tea. However, on this occasion, my head was buzzing with stuff , so I have started writing this report in bed 'on the night'.
SCC was electrified this evening by Ken Scott's latest talk entitled 'Besides and Beyond'. Nobody could have failed to be inspired and motivated by Ken's pictures and enthusiastic words.
I have had the pleasure of hearing at least six of Ken's talks over the years and have always been very impressed with his passion for his photography, and indeed of his life generally.
The second print competition of the season saw Malcolm Bull adjudicateour images. Malcolm originates from Essex, but now resides in Shoreham and is a member of Steyning Camera Club, you can view Malcom's work on Flickr.
Malcolm is new to the judging circuit, having completed a judging course last year in the hope that understanding judging he would have a better idea of what judges are looking for in regards to his own images.
We are lucky to have Mike Eddows who is a proffessional theatre photographer as a member of our club. Mike offered to do an evening of hands on theatre photography for the club. We set out to create an image for a show poster and a couple of images for publicity.
Tamplin Stage Lighting very kindly lentus lights so we were able to create theatre lighting conditions.
