Winners : Eastwood Photographic Society
Eastwood PS’s digital competition secretary is Colin McLatchie ARPS and he was also team leader at the final. He was delighted with winning the title Camera Club of the Year 2017-18. “Our president is still on cloud nine,” says Colin. “We have arranged some local media coverage and it’s going down a storm, so maybe you’ll get more entries next year from north of the border. The club members are ecstatic and looking forward to the Fujifilm speakers. “Actually, we thought we had bombed, especially in the Round 4, still life. None of us had a clue, especially due to the limited and non-inspirational subject matter, so it was hard to get creative. We all hated our still- life images, but we had to submit something. The actual shoot was not hard, it was just the choice of what to actually shoot. It turned out not too shabby. On the other hand, Pip was a fantastic model and photography subject. “Overall, I thought the day was excellent and the organisation was first class. In
many ways it was a little tougher than we expected, with the time constraints and the limited editing time proving a real challenge, especially if you see what we have created since the shoot with many of the images. “Using the kit was a challenge too, but that’s what it was supposed to be. The three non-Fujifilm users have been working with either Canon or Nikon for over 30 years so using the Fujifilm cameras was a tough nut to crack but no one can argue about the image quality; that was impressive.”
