Our latest competition was open to all subjects and divided into two sections – PDIs and prints. There was a wide range of subjects across both sections. The overall standard was high, showing the effort and skill members continue to put into their work.
The evening was judged by Peter Prosser from Watford Camera Club, who gave clear, constructive feedback throughout. His comments were both informative and encouraging, making it an enjoyable and useful night for everyone.
