THURSDAY 11th FEBRUARY
COMPETITION NIGHT – FOLIO FIVE
Judged by Peter Weaver LRPS CPAGB APAGB
Peter Weaver LRPS CPAGB APAGB is a familiar face to the members of Tyndale Photography Club having visited many times before, both as a speaker and a judge. His ‘visit’ this month was to judge our annual ‘Folio Five’ competition and as we are still under covid-19 restrictions Peter was more than happy to give the results over a Zoom meeting. He began by saying how he appreciated the amount of effort that goes into preparing a folio of five images all based on the same theme and how much he had enjoyed viewing all twenty one panels entered. He commented on how each image within each panel fitted the title of the theme, either by the subject within each image or the story the separate images gave. When displaying each set of images entered, Peter first commented on the folio as a whole and then on each image indicating which, in his opinion, was the strongest of the group. There was a good and varied number of topics chosen by the members who entered the competition, some imaginative, some creative but all of a very high standard, thus making Peter’s job hard to judge a winner. He did, however, manage to separate the top three from the rest and awarded Diana Baker third place for her folio ‘Blue Butterflies of Summer’ David Brookes second place for his folio ‘In The Dolomites’ and David Rumsam first place for his folio ‘Mental Health Awareness’.
