Thursday 30th November 2017

Arlesford Camera Club
18 Mono Prints & 18 Colour Prints

Judge: Peter Epsley

Picture
As the image suggests, we won some and we lost some and Carol’s scoring analysis is below my report.

Like many football matches, it was a ‘Game of Two Halves’, with Arlesford out-gunning us in the Mono Section, which Peter judged first, and Harwich gaining most of the top 20 marks in the Colour section, which was hosted after the refreshments interval.

Peter, as he always does, judged each print fairly and efficiently, and speaking for myself, awarded marks that mirrored my sentiments entirely. That said, his over emphasis and obvious deduction of points for mounts (his term was ‘Matt’) that were not to his liking, became a little too much towards the end of the evening. However, his remarks regarding the title of the image adding a ‘Story Line’, were spot on and very relevant.

This was the first ‘battle’ between the two clubs that I am aware of. Thanks must go to the Arlesford members for hosting the event this year, and the ‘Tea and Biscuits’ during the interval was most welcome. Next year, Harwich will host the event and in the words of George our chairman “Hopefully closer ties between the two clubs will ensue”

Paul Simmons


Mono Section - Alresford won by 13 points with the scores being as follows. 
Alresford 316 and Harwich 303

The following Harwich members got top marks for their images. - WELL DONE

This meant that overall we lost by 10 points with the final scores Alresford 649 and Harwich 639.

       8x8 Interclub competition
 Colchester Photographic So

Judge -
Julie Hutson

Picture
Several members travelled to Colchester to support our club in this highly competitive competition.

The Judge for the night was Julie Hutson, who had a lot of really great images to go through from all different genres of photography. She gave some good comments throughout the night on the images. We managed to hold our own but unfortunately only came 7th. There was just 26 points between the winners and 8th place, quite good out of a total of 160 points. Colchester once again won on the night.

Picture
Picture
We had a warm welcome from East Ipswich camera club and a friendly close competition. The Judge Vic Hainsworth was fair and gave good critique to all the images during the evening.
 
In the print section we lost by 11 points but did manage to get best print with Paul Andrews image Eroding Sea Defences.
In the Dpi section we managed to gain ground back beating Ipswich by 6 points. Ipswich got the best dpi image with a lovely image by Jim Price called Leopard in evening light.

This meant at the end of the night we lost by only 5 points.
Thanks to the members of East Ipswich for an enjoyable night.

Picture
We had a warm welcome from the Manningtree club for the friendly battle. It was a good turnout and the standard of images from both clubs was high. The judge for the competition was Howard King, who gave very good critique throughout the night.

In the prints we managed to win by 13 points with 1 of our images receiving a 20 marks
 "Blackwater firespin" by Carol Spicer.
There was also a top 3 of which we got a second with Blackwater firespin and a third with Eroding sea defences by Paul Andrews.

Unfortunately we did not manage to get an image in the top 3 this time with 3 of Manningtree's images also scoring 20.

Overall a very good night with us winning by 17 points.


Well done to all involved for a good night.
