Perfect score
Since getting the season underway, the Potters Bar & District Photographic Society has enjoyed a presentation of images that have been taken by its members in the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain as well as an internal club competition. The internal competition was on the theme of A Rainy Day and from all the entries, one was awarded the perfect score of 20. That image was Rainy Day Stork by Fiona Patterson, who, on finding out her score, was “surprised that the judge thought my image worthy of such a good score – it almost made getting soaked worthwhile!”
Above Memories by Jenny Clark was one of the eight images that secured a win for Tonbridge Camera Club in this year’s Ross Cup. The club last won the Cup in 2011, and this year’s win marks their 20th success in the competition. Established in 1951, the Ross Cup is run by the Kent County Photographic Association and this year was hosted by Eastbourne Photographic Society.
