So this year, I'm back at my camera club. Last year was the first year back for the club itself, post Covid but I only started back at the start of this session in September. The club I go to is Kilmaurs Photographic Club.
I realise that clubs and competitions are not everbody's cup of tea and I respect that but I enjoy the banter, and bouncing ideas etc as well as competing. There are one or two world class photographers at Kilmaurs and I regard them as peers that have given me something to aim for and also, competitions give me a way of showing my work to a varied audience as some of my images go into inter club and national competitions too. Some images from the club go international.
There will be 4 competions this year, 2 Opens, a themed competition and what is known as the Annual, where any images from the year can be used or fresh ones as well. The first 'Open' competition of the year is upon us, it has been judged for the last 3 weeks and the results will be announced on Monday, 7th November. This will be my first competition in over 3 years, due to Covid mainly. I used to regularly score in the region of 17 or 18, out of 20, some as low as 14 but the odd 19 too. So far, I've never scored a 20 in my time at Kilmaurs, although I've had the odd 19. I've had the odd 20 externally.
This thread isn't about the 'rights or wrongs' of clubs, it's just to document how I do over the coming year.
I hope you enjoy following my progress.
My first 3 entries in the first Open are these,
Aonach Eagach Abstract Reflection,
Loch Rusky Boats Reflection,
Toby, Greenwing Macaw.
I will update the thread with images and scores as the year progresses.
Thanks for looking.
