Back in Photography News issue 8 and thanks to the kindness of Epson, we offered camera clubs the chance to win an A3 R3000 printer, and the winners are Harlow Photographic Society – so huge congratulations to them. We asked clubs to submit three pictures and Harlow PS’s submission was judged to be the best by Nick White of Epson UK and Will Cheung, PN ’s editor. The winning portfolio comprised Black and White and Red by Tony Perryman, Attacking the Course by Graham Perryman and The Blue Welly by Heather Clarke. “Harlow PS is a well-established go-ahead club with around 45 members,” says Heather Clarke. “We engage in a lot of interaction with other clubs as this helps members to gain inspiration from different styles of work. We are also this year running separate ‘discovery’ evenings to help new members and less experienced photographers learn about their cameras, exposure, depth-of-field, lenses, photo- editing programs etc. The object of the club is enjoyment of our hobby along with helping each other to improve. “Thank you so much to Photography News and Epson for this wonderful prize.” ABOVE Delighted members of Harlow PS: Malcolm Tinn, president; Alan Buller, treasurer; Tony Perryman, viewfinder editor; Heather Clarke, outside competitions sec; and GrahamWoolmer, chairman.
