19th Nov 2020 Meeting Review – Landscapes Competition Judged by Martin Fry (FRPS EFIAP/p AV-EFIAP ABPE APAGB)
TYNDALE PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB
Martin Fry (FRPS EFIAP/p AV-EFIAP ABPE APAGB), who is no stranger to Tyndale Photography Club, had been booked for over a year to judge the club’s Projected Digital Image Landscape Competition and even though the club is holding its meetings via Zoom, Martin was still happy to perform this difficult task and deliver his results over the virtual gathering. He began by saying that for him landscape photography is a really challenging subject, not only do you have to find your subject you have to have the correct light so that the colours and mood create your landscape image. Martin gave in depth comments about each image, offering helpful advice on how slight alterations could be made to improve and ‘finish off’ certain landscapes. In total there were 48 images which took us all over Great Britain and although this was of a set subject matter, the judging must have been very difficult because the images entered were so diverse. In the end the three winners conveyed all aspects of the countryside we live in.
The winning images were :
First Place – Wastwater – Steve Varman LRPS
Second Place – Thrift on North Cornwall Cliffs – George Ryske
3rd Place – Porthmeor Beach – Don Grundell
