As with most camera clubs, we hold a number of internal competitions throughout the year which are purely voluntary and open to all members. We enjoy not only the competitive element, but also the constructive comments and advice from judges that enable everyone (even those who don’t yet want to participate) to consider how to improve their photographic skills.
The judges themselves are experienced photographers who have undertaken training before they start judging. Their particular value is they give a candid view: pointing out things a friend wouldn’t, but in a very constructive way. However the main thing is to enjoy and appreciate the images that we take!
