Highlights without the Hair Dye!

Last night we had our lovely little friendly competition on the theme of Highlights. A great night but something just didn’t seem right, could it have been the strangely calming music that was being played. I know I heard a few snore’s from the back of the room. The lack of heckling was strange. Normally one corner of the room turns into the balcony in the Muppet theatre (do I have to hide now?).
The Overall Winner was Kev Spiers with his picture of a Foggy Cadbury’s. Shame he didn’t stay to collect his prize. Nope we’re not going to tell him what it was. We’re just going to keep reminding him he didn’t get to have it.

Second place was Eddie House with his photograph Brandon Hill Sunset	Antony Bezer came third with his Lighthouse photograph

Well done all of you and thanks to everyone who entered.

Club Battle: Reflex vs A1

As you all, should, know we had A1 Camera Club from Weston Super Mare visit us for a club battle.
I'm glad to say no one tried to smuggle baseball bats or any other weapons into this weeks meeting. So the only person who could cause any kind of trauma, all be it only mental anguish, was the judge Tony Byram. I have to say he did a fantastic job. Not only did he give each picture a fair score. For every negative comment on a photograph he also made two positive ones. The judging of the print section went smoothly with some fantastic pictures being shown from both clubs.

We went to the half time break with the scores at 227 for A1 and 238 for Reflex. So as you can see it was really close with either of us still able to win.

With the break over we all sat down to listen to Tony's thoughts on the Digital Projected Images. Unfortunately the club's laptop seemed to have other ideas and we had to ask Eddie House to run home and grab his laptop. So a great big thank you for that and apologies to his daughter for suddenly finding herself without a computer for a couple of hours. So with the laptop problems sorted we settled down and listened to what Tony had to say about the rest of the images.

I'm very pleased to say that the final score was 474 points for A1 and we were the victors with 494 points.

It was an enjoyable evening and all of us at Reflex want to thank A1 for taking part and hope you enjoyed visiting us. We're looking forward to the rematch next year.
