PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY: Our projected digital images, Photographer of the Year, competition was held this evening with judge Paul Dunmall, CPAGB. As there were 114 images from 19 photographers, Paul was unable to comment on them all but chose two from each set (6 in each) to talk about. The idea of the competition is to show versatility and is achieved by providing no more than one image from six different subject categories. The winners were: 1, Janice Payne; 2, Gay Biddlecombe; 3, Louise Pemberton. Highly Commended Bob Sherrard, Alan Bousfield and Janet Monk.
