Our first contest for the 2018/19 season was held on November 15th, displaying the photographic art of our members. There were over 130 entries in 3 groups: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. The 5 Categories were Movement, Architecture, Patterns or Shapes, The Beach and Open. Judges for the evening were Norm Ullock, Leif Peterson and Randy Nickerson – 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.
Winning images below are sorted by category and award: Mouse Over for title and artist, Click for larger image and contest placement (1st, 2nd, etc.) and category.
