Open Competition judged by Sandie Cox ARPS DPAGB
Sandie Cox ARPS DPAGB has visited Tyndale Photography Club several times over many years, both as a speaker and a judge, but her recent visit was the first to us over Zoom. It had been arranged over a year ago that she would judge the January competition and we were pleased that this booking was not cancelled and could proceed ‘normally’.
Before the ‘evening proper’ began Sandie explained what she looks for when judging, she likes to be able to see texture so that she can ‘feel’ the image whilst viewing it, of course, technical ability, quality and composition also play a huge part in the points awarded to the individual entry. Sandie spoke at great length about each image, passing extremely useful comments, she displayed great sensitivity on giving advice where she felt an image could be improved in both the taking of the photograph and/or the subsequent post processing. It was quite clear that Sandie had worked really hard on the task she had taken on.
After announcing the winners Sandie said how she had enjoyed viewing and judging all fifty four images and thanked us for inviting her back to Tyndale.
The winning images were :
First Place – Hebredian Beach – Elizabeth Restall ARPS
Second Place – broad bodied chaser – Bill Beere
Third Place – Follow me – Barry Wilson
