Once again, our Shuffell Trophy series for Prints and for PDIs was in three rounds with the first round split into first image with subject “Agriculture” and the second image “open”. We had so many prints and PDIs for the first round that at very short notice had to split it across two evenings with Peter Woodhouse judging the Agriculture and Penny Piddock stepping in to judge the Open images. The later two rounds were judged as planned by Mike Weeks and Malcolm MacNaughton.
The tables below show the rankings for all those who entered six images in the Prints and/or PDI classes.
Well done to everyone who participated, especially those who were doing so for the first time and we hope everyone found it a rewarding experience. We also are grateful to all our judges who come out often on a cold wintry evening at very low cost to help us all improve our photography. Critiquing and scoring a lot of images is quite an intimidating task even though they have gone through various judging courses.

This year we again had three rounds in the Shuffell Trophy, the judges being Zaid Meherali, Amanda Miller, and Paul Thackeray. In the first round, we needed a subject of “corners” in order to be able to enter the Bradford Abbas Shield competition a week or so later. However, given the rather restrictive subject, only one print (or pdi) had to depict “corners (singular or plural) and the second could be either another corner or open. All corner entries were judged as one sub-group and the rest judged as another.
Congratulations to Mike for winning both the print and the pdi trophies this year!

We were pleased to welcome Sid Jones as the evening’s judge who proceeded to critique and score each image, holding back some of the stronger ones to award First, Second and Third positions with a few ‘Highly Commended’ as well.

Our Photograph of the Year competition is the final competition of our season where we ask an invited judge to select the best Print and the best PDI. The entries can be new images or ones previously entered during the season and each member may enter up to two images in each of the classes.
This year we were pleased to welcome Norman Carey once again as our judge. In the Prints, Norman only awarded one ten so congratulations go to David Lampard for the second year running. In the PDI’s David scored another 10 but with David Townley and Val Saxby also scoring 10’s, he didn’t quite make it a double, so congratulations to David Townley for his Kaffir Lily.
