Our first contest for the 2017/18 season was held on November 16, displaying the photographic art of our members. There were 130 entries in 3 groups (Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced) and 5 Categories: Landscape and Geology, Reflections, Botany, The Beach and Open. Judges for the evening were Leif Peterson, Jeff Gardner and Bob Hawkins – thank you!
Due to the large number of images to judge and to better align our scoring with the GTCCC standard we looked for scores of 5-10 vs. 6-10 in the past. This allowed for a little more granularity but not moving to the full standard of 1/2 points.
