Photographer of The Year Round Two Judged by Caroline Preece LRPS

Last Tuesday saw the judging of Round Two of POTY, another round of digital images. The themed image was ‘In A Row’ and the second image was unrestricted

Caroline Preece had, of course, seen all the images beforehand and was able to make pertinent comments about each of the presented images. The members offered a cornucopia of dazzling images for consideration in each of the four separate classes. There is no doubt that NDPS has some outstanding photographers in its ranks..!

Altogether a total of 78 images were judged and we offer our congratulations to the following winning photographers -

Free choice images

f5.6 League  SALTWATER SOAK by Stuart Woodcock

f2.8 League        JUST AFTER HARVEST by Bill Daniels

Themed images (IN A ROW)

f5.6 League        SHIP TO SHORE by Pat Stebbings

f2.8 League        ROW OF POLES ACROSS A FIELD OF GRAIN by Neil Hall

Caroline’s judging gave lots of food for thought, diagonals have more energy than parallel lines, what do you want the viewer to see, should the whole image be sharp? Each comment about each photograph was relevant and valuable and everyone who attended was able to take away lots of really helpful information.

Thanks Caroline and congratulations to the winners.
