Alex White

Many thanks to everyone who submitted images for our fourth competition of the season which was for prints.  The theme was an open one and the competition was judged by Graham Currey who is both an L&CPU judge and as many of you know is the proprietor of Photo Session Days. 

Graham provided some great and positive feedback and spent time to emphasise that although this was a competition, photography is best approached “shooting for yourself” and not for the judge. Graham was also particularly generous in sharing numerous anecdotes and thoughts about the images … especially that a number of them would have made great jigsaws!  

We would like to offer Graham thanks for his time and efforts and for covering while the MCC team grappled a number of technical difficulties! You can catch up with what Graham is upto over here at Photo Session Days. 

Congratulations go to Steve Gresty for the highest ranking image which was “White Tailed Eagle Confrontation” – scoring a maximum 20 points and gaining 1st place.

Many thanks to everyone who submitted images for our third competition of the season which was for digital prints.  The theme was simply ‘Creative’ and the competition was judged by a very experienced local artist and former educator Geoff Archer. 

Geoff was new to photographic competition judging but nevertheless took on the task with enthusiasm and professionalism. Geoff’s feedback was thorough, insightful and scoring was excellent and he had clearly spent significant time really thinking about the images themselves, their meaning and production values, so his viewpoints were refreshing. 

We would like to offer Geoff thanks for his sterling efforts! You can find out more about Geoff and his art over at geoffarcher.co.uk.  

Congratulations go to the Alex White for the highest ranking image which was “Birmingham New Street Steel Reflections” – scoring a maximum 20 points.
