In last night’s final the members of the Society elected David Jordan Photographer of the Year.

In the first part of the evening all six finalists (in alphabetical order) Dave Balcombe, David Jordan, David Powley, Pat Stebbings, each showed and talked about the 10 images they entered in the five pre-qualifying rounds that took them to the final.

After the break, the finalists presented three new images (all choosing to show prints) before a ballot was held to select the champion photographer.

Last year’s champion Neil Hall who we were all delighted to see back in NDPS presented David with the trophy. Neil congratulated all the finalsts on the quality of photography on display, adding he knew from personal experience what a tough competition POTY is…!

Results of POTY Round Five are announced...

In anticipation that the projected image using Skype would not be to the usual standard obtained using a PC/projectorat a normal meeting Andy Wilson was sent high resolution copies of all the images a few days before. This enabled him to look through the images and formulate this scores and eliminated the risk of inconsistent projected images on the night.

Many thanks Andy and willlook forward to greeting you back in Norwich under more normal circumstances in the not toodistant future.

A great evening of photography resulted in Adrian Richmond winning a POTY round for the first time with his excellent monochrome image Silent Reflections in the Rain. In second place was Dennis Hales’ image Time on my Hands with Brendan McCarney’s image Great View being placed third.

Another four images were held back by Andy in the first round of the competition and these are all shown below.
