2nd Genre Competition – Scapes Prints(2025/26)
The 2nd Genre competition of the season – Scapes Prints – was judged on 19th February by David Goodier (LSWPP, LRPS, QGWP) from Lancaster Photographic Society. There were 58 prints to judge on the night and David introduced his concept of avoiding ‘Nearly’ Photography. For example avoid being nearly central – either commit to a central subject or push it well off to one side.
