23rd September: Ron Wake Trophy – Interclub Print Competition judged by Peter Cox LRPS; CPAGB
We welcomed members of Ealing and Hampshire House, Field End and Watford to The Ron Wake Print Trophy annual competition and our judge Peter Cox, Tring Camera Club, whose erudite critiques made for an informative and entertaining evening.
Several prints were held back and the tension mounted as Peter gave out commended and highly commended awards (all to Watford!) before announcing his third, second and winning print. Peter explained each decision, particularly expanding on why he chose the trophy winner over his second choice. Many congratulations to Mike Lloyd from Ealing HH for his striking print ‘On the Pier’ (one could say the ‘bottom’ came top!). The trophy goes back to Ealing where it had been since last year. Catherine Allen from Field End was second with her beautiful ‘Hidden Window’; Peter Prosser from Watford was third with ‘Arenes de Nines’.
Thank you to all the print makers for an outstanding display of exemplary work, to everyone who supported the evening and to Peter Cox for his excellent judging. Ron Wake would have been proud.
Next week we are on Zoom for a talk “Litchfield on Photography” by Martin Litchfield CPAGB
In the meantime have a good week and enjoy the rest of September.
