February ‘Cold’ monochrome print competition

February’s monochrome print ‘cold’ competition saw what we think is a first for the club – a four way tie for first place!

The first image is Ian Smith’s image looking down towards Ladybower reservoir.

Allyson Evans had two images in first place. The first was of a cold Niagara Falls.

The second was a frozen fern.

And the final image in the first place (!) was Tony Godwin’s photo of a solitary tree.

Our competition year began with the annual AGW Open projected image competition.

Third place was shared by Darren Worthy’s colourful close-up of a pencil and David Barnett’s close up of small fungi.

October Transportation projected competition

As the nights began to draw in, we held our Transportation projected image competition.

Third place went to David Barnett’s serene image from safari in the Masai Mara.
