The 3rd Genre Competition was a Fun Competition with the theme of Songs Of The 70s. The evening was split between trying to guess the song title from the image (with varying levels of success!) and judging the images, which was performed by AI.

There were 37 images entered by 22 members – a relatively light entry. The highest score on the night was 19.

The top scoring images are listed below.

The featured image for this competition is Every Bunny Was Kung Fu Fighting by Peter Flegg, which was one of the images scoring 19pts.

The 3rd Open Print competition of the season was judged on 23rd April by Barry Dickinson (MPSA, EFIAP, DPAGB, BPE5*, GPUCR3, L.APS/g) from Poulton PS. There were 54 print images on the night to judge which Barry did with a rather idiosyncratic sense of humour, holding a good number back and commenting in particular on the strength of Landscapes in the competition.

The top scoring images are listed below.

The featured image for this competition is Pass With Care! by Mike Williamson, which was one of the images scoring 20pts, but the one which Barry said was his favourite on the night.

The 2nd Genre competition of the season – Scapes Prints – was judged on 19th February by David Goodier (LSWPP, LRPS, QGWP) from Lancaster Photographic Society.

The top scoring images are listed below.

The featured image for this competition is Sundown At Canyonlands, Utah by Sheila Giles – one of several images to score 20pts.

The 2nd Open Print competition of the season was judged on 22nd January by Rebecca Entwhistle from Prestwich Camera Club. There were 57 print images on the night to judge on the night which Rebecca judged with a good range of scores. She noted a number of images where the subject was very close to the edge of the frame, so when printing remember to leave some space for the mount to overlap the image.

The top scoring images are listed below.

The featured image for this competition is Finding Winter’s Store by Carol Watson – one of three images to score 20pts, but judged best overall by Rebecca.
