THURSDAY 9th DECEMBER
FOLIO FIVE COMPETITION
judged by
Sandie Cox ARPS DPAGB
Sandie is a familiar face to the members of Tyndale Photography Club having visited many times before, both as a speaker and a judge. Her Zoom visit this month was to judge our annual Folio Five competition.
Entries into this competition are made up of five digital images which form a set with a common theme, a sixth image must be generated where the five individual images are presented as a panel.
Before appraising the twenty one panels, Sandie explained what she looks for when taking on the role of a judge. She likes to be able to see texture in a picture, she likes to be able to ‘feel’ an image with her eyes whilst not forgetting technical ability, quality and composition.
Sandie spoke at great length about each image within the panel, 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. She also gave advice on how the panel itself had been presented. It was quite clear that Sandie had given up a lot of her time and 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 one hundred and five images and very much appreciated the amount of effort that goes into preparing a folio of several images.
The winning panels were :
First Place – Turbans – Christine Ryske
Second Place – Dog Retrieval – Barry Wilson
Third Place – Twirled Flowers – Elizabeth Restall ARPS
