Dingwall Camera Club has won the 2008 competition!!!!!!!!

Tonbridge put up a good fight but were beaten into 2nd Place. Going digital next year I wonder if someone is going to knock them off their perch!...we shall see.

 

A very big thank you to everyone who took part-the club organisers as well as those that submitted their images. The full scoresheet is printed below.

Next year we are back to 10 clubs. New rules will be sent out soon and as usual I shall keep them as simple as possible.

Thanks to Dingwall for hosting the final and I still need a club to hold the 2009 finals....are you interested?  Let me know.

 

 

The final round of Group One has taken place and it was a resounding victory for Dingwall Camera Club. We now know that Dingwall and Photofold Camera clubs will be going forward to the Final. Well done to both clubs.

Next year the competition will be run as a DIGITAL competition and hopefully we shall be back to 10 clubs. We shall stick with the 2 group system with a Final at the end.  Anyone fancy holding the 2009 Final? It would have to be held sometime in April so if you have a spare evening in your programme here's a filler! Email me if you are interested.

Round 3 of Group 1 was held at Mersea last night and Dingwall continue to lead the table. They had some stunning Natural History shots which picked up high scores.

 

It has been decided after much debate to make this the last year that the competition will run in it's present format. Many clubs are now finding it extremely difficult to gather enough good slides for the competition. Next year the competition will run in a digitally projected image format. I hope that all present clubs will continue to participate. I will write to all clubs at a later date with more details but for now if you could arrange for an evening in Feb-March 2009 to be set aside for your round I would be most grateful.

2nd February 2008

Last week Colchester Photographic Society held the first round of Group 2 where the judge scored very high indeed. He awarded 15 slides maximum points. It will be interesting to compare the scores when Round 2 results come in.

In Group 1 the second round was held at Ipswich and already it is showing how much different judges differ in their scoring.

Well done to Colchester for heading Group 2 but it is only by a slender margin!

____________________________________________________

Dingwall have taken an early lead in Group 1 with Ipswich in second place.

2 slides attained maximum marks .............

Virginia Jarosz of Dingwall scoring 10 with her slide "Pastel" and Barry Weaver of Mersea also scoring 10 for his slide of a Howler Monkey.

Updated analysis figures are given below.
