The 1st Genre competition of the season (Mono) was judged on 20th November 26th September by Michael Whittaker (DPAGB, BPE5) from Burnley Camera Club. There were 84 images to judge on the night and Michael picked up particularly on areas of over-processing that can introduce halos or overly textured skies – something to be careful of when processing mono images in particular.
