Our Photograph of the Year competition seeks to find the single best print and PDI.  This year we had 15 prints and 27 PDI’s and we were very pleased to welcome Sheila Brown LRPS from Parkstone as our judge for the evening.  She is always a popular judge,  providing a very useful critique with humour and [...]
