Print judging feedback – Steve Womack LRPS CPAGB EFIAP 11/5/22

Our judge, Steve Womack from Wakefield CC for the fourth and final set of Annual Competition categories was given 5 sets of prints: Open Colour; Architecture & General Record; Portrait People & Figure Studies; Travel; and Intermediate (Open). Steve gave comments on every image and held a number back in each category with the result that a number of our members will be watching intently at the ‘Oscars’ evening on 29th June.

Huddersfield Photo-Imaging Club would like to thank all our four judges for their careful consideration of our work. Without them and our members’ entries we would not be able to stage our Annual Exhibition so effectively.

DPI judging feedback - Dave Gibbins 04/05/22

Tonight, saw the third of our judging evenings where we welcomed via zoom, David Gibbins ARPS, APAGB, EFIAP/b,BPE5*, a highly well-respected PAGB judge from North and East Midlands Photographic Federation.

We gave David four genres to comment on all DPI images from our experienced members who had entered in Open Colour, Open Mono, Portrait and Scapes.

David was a clearly excellent communicator, enthusiastic in his love of photography, giving advice on each image as they were presented to him.

David commented on each image and awarded scores accordingly, images that were ‘held back’ on the night, we will have to see on our ‘Oscars night’ on June 29th who has come away with either the trophy, highly commended or commended certificates.

Print Judging Feedback – Haydn Bartlett LSWPP LSINWP 27/4/2022

Judging of our Annual Competition entries is in full swing. This week we were pleased to welcome YPU-listed judge Haydn Bartlett who gave his critique and scores on over 70 prints submitted in 4 categories: Nature, Open Monochrome, ‘Scapes and Creative.

Each print was put on the lightbox for viewing and to aid those sat at the back a digital version of the print was displayed on the screen. In addition two of our technically-minded members relayed the digital versions and commentary to members who were watching on Zoom.

Following our custom in recent years Haydn held back the scores for the best work in each category thus helping to maintain the tension until our ‘Oscars’ evening in late June.
