1 Hour Picture Challenge:


On the evening of 18th May 20 or so intrepid members were sent out into the wilds of Huddersfield with the single aim of getting the best shot of the evening. They had to be out, get their 3 shots and be back again within 1 hour. Some didn't make it out of the car park, others headed to the nearest pub to get a pint in inbetween photos, while other went a little further afield. Each member brought back their three contenders and the individual members voted for their favourite image of the evening.

Here are the results for the top 3 places based on the evenings votes:

1st
Norman Cutler - Horse looking over a wall

2nd
Barbara Heaton - Grown Green Bowlers
Kevin Lloyd - HSBC building

Joint 3rd
Katrina Skeath - West Highland Terrier
Lester Stansill-Todd Weir
Susan Gibson - Sunset over the canal

    Thanks


    Competition with other clubs is made possible by members submitting work for consideration and the selection panel of experienced members coming together to choose the club's entries. Thanks are due to all those club members involved.

    Attendance at 'away' events is a good way for our members to see other club's work and to meet their members, listen to the views of judges from other regions, and pick up tips to improve our own photography. HPIC has a good record of turning out on such occassions and long may it continue.
