Leigh-on-SeaCC

Park Street CC Lastmonth the Park Street Camera Club held their annual Creative Cup competition and it was won by previous winner Rosemary Wenzerul with her image Asleep on the Beach, which was inspired by the sight of the oddly-shaped flat stone on the beach. It reminded her of the old fashioned potato headdolls. The clever bitwas thinkinghowa living star fish could be introduced to the composition to simulate the arms and legs of a sunbather. Then it was only a matter of positioning tiny shells and pebbles to create the eyes andmouth. The fact that she did all this in-camera rather than in editing made the picture so much more appealing. Park Street CC meet at St Stephen Parish Centre, Station Road, Bricket Wood, St Albans AL2 3PJ. Meetings are on Thursday nights 7:45pm for 8pm.

Chard Camera Club held their Peter Partridge panel competition on 15 February in the memory of their past club membership and competition secretary Peter Partridge who was taken from them last year having battled with cancer. Members were invited to submit up to two, three-image panels depicting a theme of their choice. The judge, John Foulkes, had a hard task selecting one winning panel and it turned out to be quite a close run at the final selection. Overall winnerwasmember JohnBaileywith a set of images telling the story of the Royal Mail from postbox to delivery.

The club hosted the 53rd Annual Essex Inter-Club Projected Images Competition on the 22 February. Eight clubs submitted six images each on which judge Paul Adams ARPS commented and scored out of ten points. Benfleet and Chelmsford tied for top place with 55 points each but it was Chelmsford who took home the Shield having scored two 10s, one more than Benfleet. Half a point behind was Photofold and from their entry Paul chose Barry Harrington’s image of Phillipa as his personal choice of best DPI.
