THURSDAY 20th JANUARY – PDI OPEN COMPETITION

THURSDAY 20^th JANUARY

PDI OPEN COMPETITION judged by ROB HESLOP LRPS

The second open projected digital images competition of the 2021-2022 season was judged by Rob Heslop LRPS. Before the judging began Rob, who is a member of The Forest of Dean Camera Club, told us a little about himself saying he has over 30 years of experience and although he likes to keep an open mind he does tend towards landscape photography. He stated that he liked an image to tell a story and felt that the title also played a part in the narrative. As he progressed through the entries he took time to explain how he had come to his decision for the mark awarded, he was fair with his comments and gave good advice where ‘he’ felt an image ‘might’ be improved. After announcing the commended and highly commended images the final results were
