The One Hour Challenge has been a feature of our summer programme for some years. On turning up at the club room for an 8pm start we were given a subject to photograph. This year Club President chose ‘Our green and pleasant land’. As it was high summer there was plenty of greenery to choose from but it was not easy to get good captures. We had until 9pm to hand in an SD card with two JPEG images each but the evening sun did not put in an appearance and it was one of the gloomier evenings we have had for outside photography. That gave little time to do any in-camera processing so unsurprisingly attempts at capturing landscape subjects were not going to come up with Competition standard entries.
Nevertheless over 30 images were bought back and duly shown after the refreshment break. Each were shown in pairs and voted on to ‘retain’ or ‘lose’. The number were finally whittled down by shows of hands over a number of rounds until the last two images were projected. Both were taken at Castle Hill in the attempt to get nearer the sun. Congratulations to Robert Waterworth for his 1st place image and hard lines Andy Symons who just missed out.
