This month’s topic challenged members to present a print (yes a welcome return to A4 prints!) on a subject which gave plenty of scope for interpretation: Decay. Around 20 members submitted an A4 print for us to view. Voting soon commenced and each print was scrutinised closely for subject matter, impact, story-telling message, technical aspects and choice of paper. Votes were counted during a refreshment break and set aside until they were revealed at the very end.
These sessions give experienced members a chance to try their hand at critique and this week we enjoyed the double act of Carla and Kevin Lloyd giving their thoughts on each item of work. Nothing much gets past these two and there were plenty of tips on how to improve images as well as appreciative comments for authors to note. The subject had certainly got members’ creative juices going and one even managed to distress the final print through burning the edges to great effect.
Congratulations to the three highest scoring photographers – Alan Stopher (1st) with his portrayal of the sad state of Huddersfield’s George Hotel, Peter Thornton (2nd) with a macabre monochrome impression of three corpses and Tony Renshaw(3rd) with his dramatic ship wreck on an Irish beach.
