Hearty congratulations to Great Notley Photographic Club for qualifying for the final shoot out by winning Round 5: Landscapes. It was a very close run thing with Great Notley seeing off Ayr PS, Peterborough PS and Preston PS by a single point. As you can see from the scores both Dorchester CC and Exeter CC finished with more points than Great Notley PC but both clubs had already qualified for the final, which leaves Great Notley PC as this round’s winners. Great Notley PC joins Harpenden PS and New City PC as well as Dorchester CC and Exeter CC in our final shootout that is scheduled to take place in early June. The final itself is an all-day photo shoot where the five finalists will be confronted by five photo challenges that have to be shot on five different Fujifilm cameras including the medium-format GFX 50S, the X100S premium compact and very successful X-T2. What’s more, each assignment must be completed in a certain time, with finished, edited files to be handed in within that strict deadline. It is going to be a massive examination of each club’s ability to shoot creatively under intense pressure while working as a team. The submitted entries will be judged and the winning club announced on the day. The full story of the final will in featured in Photography News issue 46 which is due out from 17 July. If you can’t wait, we will posting regular updates about the shoot on the day itself onto Facebook and Twitter.
