***The New Season Starts on Tuesday 7th September*** |
|
On Tuesday, 7th September we will be beginning our new season with a Meet and Greet evening. At this meeting all members can enrol and discuss the new programme which is on this website. Also on display will be the winning print entry from Nantwich camera club that was entered into the 2010 five towns monochrome competition. This evening is also an opportunity to pick up a set of the new competition rules and entry forms, (these are downloadable from the "Competitions" page of this website).It is also an opportunity for anyone who feels that the Camera Club might be for them, to come along and take part in these discussions without any obligation to join, thus getting an understanding of the club and its aspirations. They can take a week to reflect on what they have heard, return on 14th, for a lecture by Alan Towse LRPS on Portrait Lighting Techniques, and then make the decision whether to join us. We look forward to seeing you. |

David said the way he judged battles was to view and comment on all of the images first and then score them all at the end.
After viewing all the entries, the scoring started with the lowest first. David worked his way up though all the images. At the 16 point mark we had only lost 2 prints with low scores, things were looking good. As the scoring progressed Nantwich prints were still very strong, even to a point where we had just 3 prints left. Two of these prints scored 19 points, and the final print scoring 20 marks and taking the award for
"Print of the Night" was "Horses in the Mist" by Keith Wild.
As the final total scores were added up we knew that Nantwich was in a strong position with all those high scoring prints, and sure enough we took the overall victory with a total 171 points, 2nd was Crewe with 161, 3rd Sandbach with 156, 4th Whitchurch with 154 and in 5th place, Alsager with 153 points. Congratulations to Nantwich Camera Club for taking the overall victory and to Keith Wild for his "Print of the Night". An excellent result for the end of the 2009-2010 season.

Official Opening of the Annual Exhibition
John was introduced to the guests by Mrs. Stone, a Trustee of the Museum and John in turn introduced Mrs. Christine Widdall, AFIAP, DPAGB, BPE3*, President of the Lancs and Cheshire Photographic Union. John gave a vote of thanks to Anne Wheeler, Curator of the Museum for her help yet again in staging the exhibition. John also thanked Wray Douglas for his sterling work in coordinating all the entries and supervising their display.
Christine thanked him for the introduction and went on to compliment the members on the quality of their work and to say that she was pleased that there was an inclusion of film prints. Whilst she herself now works in digital she is anxious that printing, which seems to be bowing to PDI's should not be lost because of the archive interest in years to come will also be lost should prints disappear. She also said that she had opened the Southport Society Open Exhibition this week and recommended it to anyone who might like to go along.
There were many compliments from non-members on the quality of the work on display and satisfaction by the members on how well the prints looked en-masse.
