Points of View

This years Cambridge Camera Club Competition was set in Ely by Ann Miles.

Here is a quote from the competion instructions

1. River Ouse - A shot to include the Ouse – plenty of scope here from boats to buildings to meadows. Whatever you choose it must include the river as part of the scene.
2. Three - An image that in some way illustrates ‘3’ – could be part of a sign but also images that include three objects, people, artefacts etc
3. Ely Folk - an image including a person or people and/or their pets. A degree of humour or quirkiness will score well.
4. Cathedral Curves. An image emphasizing the use of curves in the architecture and decorations. Here you may convert your images to monochrome though colour images are just as acceptable. It can be taken inside or outside the cathedral. A permit to visit inside the Cathedral costs £9 or £6 over 60 and can be exchanged for a 1 year free pass.
5. Double Take. Any technique can be used to produce an image that comprises two or more separate elements – this can be In-camera multiple exposure, Photoshop layers or, more simply, use one image to frame another or reflection in a shop window, water etc.

There were 25 entrants. The winner of the competition sets and helps judge next years competition. There is great banter in the club that the real winner is the person who comes second.

This year the competition was won by Sue Badcock :) with a score of 88 out of 100

The Photographer who cam second was Ian Wilson with a score of 87 out of 100
