After the festive break, Tenby Camera Club was back in the competitive game with the judging of the second Open Competition. A warm welcome was given to Dennis Russ, a well qualified judge from Swansea.

He commented and critiqued with care. He was impressed with the club standards, both of the photography and the presentation. An assortment of topics, moody landscapes, birds and insects and street scenes were featured.

The prints were looked at first. There were 21 entries from 11 photographers and the maximum score of 20 was given to six entries. Then came the difficult task of placing these images. A compromise was sought, giving a joint first and a joint second.

Dylan Harries with ‘Daily Commute in India’ and Gill Mackay with ‘Baker Street’ shared the top spot. In joint second were Jan Sullivan with ‘Alone On The Moors’ and Charlie Kidd with ‘Woodpecker On Top Of Tree’ .

After a break, the digitals, of which there were 28 entries from 14 photographers, were analysed.

There were four top scores given, but Jan Sullivan reigned supreme in first place with ‘Great Reed Warbler in Full Song’.

Second place went to Charlie Kidd and ‘A Pair of Jay’, but he also captured third place with ‘Winchat with Grub’.

An excellent start to the New Year!
