My end of year results ....

.......  I was a runner-up in my club's Photograph of the Year competition - in the Phone section!



I am certainly most pleased with that result as I believe I am in some very illustrious company being a POTY winner!

Please visit our club's website to see more winning images from our end of year competition.

My latest competition results

where is the time going?   I seem to have hit a bit of a photography slump :(

Any way .......

My camera club held the final monthly competition for the year in October.

The set subject was 'creative' and I entered a few images.






I must confess, I was most disappointed with the score & critique given for the above image 'Hollow Earth' by the judge.  This image was in the 'creative' category and his comment that 'the moon was too big' really hurt .... it was supposed to be big!  My concept was that the earth is in the moon's orbit - obviously I failed in portraying that concept.

Open Category

Through this year, I have been constantly amazed at some of the judges' comments on my images - sometimes pleasantly surprised, but other times I find myself wondering if I even have any real skill at all.

The Photograph of the Year competition is next Tuesday, I have 11 images entered, so stay tuned and I will share my results.

My Photo Projects

I haven't been doing much with the camera lately - I had a bit of a fall in May and hurt my knee rather badly.  It is slowly coming good, I haven't been out and about much, but I am hoping that will change very soon.

Here are some of my 2018 project pics

My July 2018 PACC Competition results

For July, the set subject was Long Exposure, and ofcourse we had the usual 'Open' subject, plus the new 'Phone' category.

Whilst I was a little disappointed with my results for the Long Exposure & Open categories, I was most pleasantly surprised to get a 1st PLACE for my 'Phone' photo :)

My June PACC competition results

Back to reality this month ....... my winning streak of gaining an award each month has come to an end.   Not bad though, 4 months in a row of gaining a score of 9 or above ... my best results yet!

So, here is my best ranking image for the night



Scored at 7 out of 10, and ranked 9th out of 18, so in the top 10 ;)

oh dear, oh dear, where have I been?

I've been to London to visit the Queen :)

not really, but how I wish it was true!

I have been a little demotivated with my photography of late, although I have done reasonably well with my camera club competition results.

Here are my results:
