Keswick Photographic Society holds a number of formal internal competitions with invited judges, and as a society enters a number of external ones, but last week’s meeting consisted of a very informal session with members looking at each other’s images.
David Leighton: “Winter Road”
Members supplied six images in advance which were then circulated and, on the night, attendees were split up into groups of three to four with another group participating via Zoom only.
Graham Smith: Bluebells and Hawthorn”
The intention was to allow members of all levels of experience to have a discussion about the merits of their images in a less threatening format than in a formal competition with a formal judge.
Marta Almar: “This is home son”
Not only did it provide feedback on the photographs, it gave members the opportunity to look carefully at other people’s images and discuss the good, and not so good, points and to consider why some of the images “worked”.
Tricia Martin: “Essex Skippers”
Although low key and relaxed it turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable session.
Richard Petty: “Kelvingrove”
In fact there was some difficulty experienced dragging people away from their discussions, first to have their half-time tea and biscuits and finally to wind up and go home!
Antony Melling: “Slow Tide”
