Two pictures taken in Sussex countryside win Storrington Camera Club competition

With current restrictions, the club has moved online using Zoom which has allowed the club to put an end to outstanding competitions.

Judge for the evening of this final competition was Paul O’Toole, and this year both the winning print and projected images prove that you do not have to travel far to find top scoring images as both were captured in the county.

After his initial review, Paul ended up with two images for the print category selection.

These being ‘Always Alert’ by Kevin Harwood and ‘Frosty Bramber Tree’ by Martin Tomes, the latter Paul also selected as ‘Print of the Year’.

He then moved on to ‘Projected Image of the Year’. After a final review Paul short-listed three images: ‘Orangutan’ by David Seddon, ‘Jackal Patiently Waiting’ by Anne Nagle and ‘Dewpond on Misty Morning’ by Dean Sephton. He selected ‘Dewpond on Misty Morning’, an image taken by Dean at Ditchling which Paul felt stood out and was a landscape scene caught at the perfect time.

Unlike some clubs which have made the decision to only hold Projected Image competitions, Storrington Camera Club will hold both print and projected image competitions in 2020/21.

For the new season, the clubs first guest speaker on Thursday, September 24, will be Michael Berkeley with a talk titled ‘An Introduction to Music and Sport Photography’.

All other meeting details for the 2020/21 season are shown on the website www.storringtoncc.org.uk

Visitors and new members are welcome to come and join the club, from the comfort of their own home, and new members are being offered two free visits.

Please register via the visitor’s ticket that you will find underneath the programme entry or get in touch using the ‘contact us’ tab on the club’s website and indicate w which meeting you would like to join

Someone from the club will then confirm and email you a Zoom invite.
