Open Competition and Smart Phone Images
8th November 2024
We held our first competition of the season on 6th November. It had an Open theme and was judged by SPF judge, Dave Ferguson, who is chairman of Falkirk CC.
As always, there was a great range of images which must have made it very hard to judge! Dave’s comments were constructive so hopefully we all learned something on how we can improve our images.
The Best Images in the prints and DPI classes are shown below. Click on them to see a larger version.
Our next meeting is on the 20th November. It’s a follow-up evening to Kenny Martin’s talk on photographing with Smart Phones.
We’d like each member to produce a few images (between 1 and 10) taken and processed with a smart phone and show them on the night.
This is not a competition – just a chance to explain what you can do with you phone!
Who are we?
We’re a friendly group of people who enjoy taking photographs and getting together in a relaxed informal environment.
What do we do?
Each season we offer smartphone and camera users alike a programme of expert talks, practical sessions, talks by members, and for those interested the opportunity to take part in competitions.
Why do we do it?
We just love taking photos whether of something beautiful in the natural world, special moments with family and friends, memorable scenery, or anything that appeals to us. Being a club member helps us learn how to make our photos the best they can be through greater technical knowledge and developing a creative eye.
Why should I join?
The club’s varied programme aims to inspire, educate and inform and is for everyone who has ever looked at a photo they have taken and wished that it had turned out better.
The club also has privileged access to the best spots to take photos of community events like the Beltane and weekly sports fixtures.
Is it expensive to join?
We don’t think so! The cost of £3.00 per session is less than the cost of a coffee in a high-street cafe and includes tea/coffee and biscuits! We charge a single fee to cover all the season’s meetings at the start of the season.
Do I need an expensive camera?
Definitely not. Club activities are enjoyable and relevant whether you use a smartphone for all your photography (which is now most people) or are an enthusiastic user of the latest camera technology.
