Last night we were treated to a talk by Conor Molloy whose easy, understated style, stunning wildlife and sports images captivated us all. Delving into the complexity of the sports photography market, so different from the challenges of wildlife photography, opened our eyes to this difficult field in which he excels. Many thanks to Conor for a fascinating, informative and enjoyable evening.
Many thanks to Cherry Larcombe, Eastbourne Photographic Society, for her sympathetic and instructive judging last night.
Congratulations to Ian Roberts for his winning image “Blue Tit in the Snow”; John Draper’s “Crocuses 2” was second and Judith Gimber’s “Determined to Win”, third. Highly commended were “Nomadic Yurt Child, Kyrgyzstan” by Alan Colegrave, “Roses in Bricks” by Peter Keeble and “Seaside Crow Out for a Stroll” by Avril Candler.
Thanks to everyone who entered, ‘came along’ to support the evening and special thanks to Cherry.
All the images may be seen on Facebook and in the meantime Ian’s winning image is below.
Many thanks to Julia for another great workshop, concentrating on print making, from choosing the image in the first place through the sometimes tortuous steps to achieve a satisfying print. Print makers have suffered since lockdown but we are optimistic that we will be back ‘in print’ in the near future. Last night’s completely interactive session will certainly help.
We were also treated to a ‘guess the medal winners’ break-out session. It is a great way to learn how to assess our own competition images through critical eyes rather than emotional response. Who would be a judge?!
Thanks again to Julia for an informative and enjoyable evening.
