November Competition – Shadows

It was difficult enough to choose a shadowy subject, but capturing or curating four distinct but cohesive images to form a set was possibly the hardest part. The results though, were fabulous and hugely varied.

INDIVIDUAL RESULTS

First was Iain E. Sorry Ian, I don’t yet have your image.

A worthy second place went to Chris Brooks with this topsy-turvy shopping shadow captured in bright sunlight

Third was Sheila with this striking image of a physalis branch and the strong, clear shadow cast on a wall.

 

Fourth place went to Chris R with this pic taken at Chatsworth House on a crisp November morning.

GROUP RESULTS

First: Veronica
Second: Iain E
Third: Sue
Fourth: David Naylor

Here’s Veronica’s group entry: A kaleidoscope of vibrant synergy. Two quite different themes that look good individually, good in pairs, but even better as a  group of four.
Every day’s a school day for me!

 

 

 

 

 

 

October Competition – Flowers

October’s competition theme, ‘flowers’ inspired some great entries.

Results:

INDIVIDUAL IMAGES: 1st Dave Hodson, 2nd Ian Evans, 3rd, Simon Curley, 4th David Naylor.

GROUP IMAGES: 1st  Dave Hudson, 2nd Ian Evans, 2rd, Tom, 4th Nigel.

Below are all images I have received (on Dropbox) of the top four.

First in the individuals and in the group competition was Dave Hodson. A stunning Orchid was Dave’s individual entry, and a deserved winner. (Personally I love the astrantia.) The four images work very well as a group.

Here’s David Naylor’s dramatic shot of a coastal ice plant.

Undeterred by the flames rapidly engulfing the building, Tom put passion before safety and stopped just long enough to compose and shoot these lovely images. 

September Competition – Architecture

Everybody took advantage of the breadth of this category and some very varied, interesting and unusual photographs were submitted.

We’re still waiting for some of these to be shared, but as soon as I have them I’ll update the page.

First in the individual competition was Dave H with this great monochrome. (Sorry Dave, I can’t remember which abbey it is.)

1st Individual. Dave Hodson.

1st Individual. Dave Hodson.

1st in the group competition was Chris with more monochromes. ‘Stairs’
