The last zoom in October was an exceptional Landscape competition.

Incorporating land, sea and urban images we were treated to a phenomenal 94 images from 26 photographers.

The judge facing this mammoth task of judging was Gareth Martin. Gareth is an old friend of Tenby Camera Club, having judged and presented many times over the years.

He kept a tight rein over the critique offering useful hints and advice to all the images.

Members were grateful for that as they weren’t prepared for an all nighter!

Gareth was warmly thanked and praised for his efforts in the rather daunting event.

The images covered a wide range of landscapes, many local, with us being so lucky having stunning countryside.

Sunsets. sunrises, autumn, trees, heavy seas and waves. lakes, mists and buildings, cottages, all covered in a range of styles.

Eleven images were held back to be scored at the end.

Eight of those were given a score of 19 but the remaining three achieved the top mark of 20.

In first place (pictured) was Harry Gardiner with his ‘The Hidden House’ an unusual aspect taken in Tenby.

In second place was an atmospheric image ‘Miner’s Residence’ by Neil Thomas and in third was John Whitehurst and his ‘Scott Free Misty Morning Newport’.

There was an excellent standard of photography and the choices must have been very difficult.
