Match an Image Competition, Tuesday 24th April 2018

Hi Folks,

Last night it was ‘match an image’ competition which was run as an internal event with our club members being divided into three teams. Each member had brought along five images to use. Kathy, Dave and Chris worked the screens.

Our judge for the evening was John Credland.

I was nominated to be scorer so did not get a lot of detail written down (in fact none) lol

The first team in this competition had to display a picture and the other two teams had to match it the best they could with one of their images available. However once the image had been used it could not be used again. So as the evening went on it would become harder to find a match.

Points out of five were awarded for a match and up to five marks for quality of the photograph.

The team putting up the picture would automatically get 5 points for matching itself and this would obviously even itself out at the end of each round.

So

Team (1) on the left was first to put up a picture of a beach with blue sky

Team (2) in the middle had a wave scene but then John said the waves were not quite sharp but it may be the projector

Team (3) on the right also had a beach scene but the projector was displaying more yellow than it should have been.

Team (1) got 3 for quality, 5  for matching itself, so a total of 8 marks

Team (2) got 2 for quality, 2 for a match, so a total of 4 marks

Team (3) got 3 for quality, 3 for a match, so a total of 6 marks

 

The next was

Team (2) in the middle to put a picture up, a scene of the London Eye

This was matched by Team (1) on the left who had a series of bubbles in the same colours as the London eye
