Defeat at the NW Fed!
Part of our ongoing pledge to our members is to try to provide Inspiration, generate enthusiasm and creativity. We had plenty of Inspiration and enthusiasm provided by our latest speaker. David Boag who gave us a riveting evening as he presented his topic of ‘the world of a wildlife photographer’ David the Author of eighteen published books, filled the evening with wonderful Images and stories of his travels around the World capturing some amazing Images. He covered a tremendous amount of material in the allotted time, explaining among many things, his business ethic and how photography life had changed from when he first started his career to the current day.
Thanks to club Secretary Denise for once again providing another top class speaker making this such an enjoyable night for everyone.
Earlier in the week, our semi final in the NW federation competition resulted in a win for our opponents Amersham. Some great Images were entered by both clubs which meant a very competitive encounter. Unfortunately Amersham had the edge overall winning with 317 points against our 307.5. We had entered a strong selection of Images from our talented membership, with our top scores going to;
- Cat Humphries ‘ Haunted’ 20 points
- Gordon Calder ‘ Bodacious’ 20 points
- Cat Humphries ‘ Hollywood Starlet’ 19.5 points
It was a tremendous achievement for our club to reach the semi final of this competition and there was certainly not a lot to choose between the two sets of Images entered by each club. Thanks to external Competition Secretary Stuart for his diligent work in organising and his careful final choice of Images to represent the club.
Thanks also to those that were able to tune in on the night for the Zoom meeting to support the club.
