Open Competition - Black & White/ Mono/ Infra Red (Print)
Post date: Mon, 05/11/2018 - 09:45Our thanks to Judge Graham Walton, DPAGB who traveled a long way to judge our first Print competition of the season. With only 30 entries from just 9 members we were treated to a detailed critique of every image. I’m sure the advice was helpful not just to the Entrants, but also to all those who attended. Cliff Hughes was unlucky not to get all 4 of his entries awarded a place as "Carly behind...

Practical Night 30th Oct
Post date: Wed, 31/10/2018 - 20:55The 5 members who attended the practical evening had a real treat. Tony Cartwright showed us how to make simple improvements to our images using Photoshop Elements and Arthur Lomas brought the recently acquired lighting tents (donated by a former member) to demonstrate different lighting options. Unfortunately the lights didn't want to perform but we got the general idea. The star of the night...

Open Competition - Black & White/ Mono/ Infra Red (PDI)
Post date: Tue, 23/10/2018 - 14:30WoW - what a massive entry 89 entries from 26 members brave enough to enter! and what a great Standard! The Judge – Dave Tucker EFIAP/b, DPAGB, CPAGB, BPE3* - held back 32 images which made for a nail biting second round but meant many “hopefuls” with excellent images either did not make the cut, or fell at the last review. To those I say PLEASE keep trying, keep entering and above all keep...

Opening Competition 2018
Post date: Mon, 08/10/2018 - 12:35Leek Photographic Club's opening competition of the 2018/19 season was "People". A well-attended evening saw Judge Peter E. Cheetham, having to decide between several exceptional images. While 38 were initially held back, they were soon whittled down to just 12 awards. The judging was kept on theme with more interest shown in those images that told a story, rather than straight portraits no...
