2nd Competition 2024-25 – Doors and/or Windows – Leighton Buzzard Photographic Club

Our second internal league competition of the 2024-25 season took place on Wednesday 6 November.

The set subject, for both prints and projected digital images (PDIs), was “Doors and/or Windows”.

The Programme notes added “MUST be an architectural feature of a building – NOT a vehicle or metaphorical door or window. Any quantity of doors and/or windows, or a combination of the two. The door and/or window must be the dominant feature of your image. Isolated features of a door/window are out of scope.”.

The entries showcased all sorts of doors and windows. As well as old and ornate doors and windows, there were also smart modern ones, derelict ones, big ones and small ones, open ones and closed ones, unusual ones, and foreign ones. And they appeared in all sorts of settings including cafes, office blocks, hotels, museums, churches, art galleries, cottages, sheds, and many other buildings besides.

Our independent judge for the competition was Chris Forster FBPE DPAGB MFIAP, a very experienced CACC judge of club and inter-club competitions. He regarded our set subject as “very difficult”! Nevertheless, he paid strict attention to its definition and images were not marked if they did not meet the brief.

Each entry was marked out of 20. Marks for this competition count towards the season’s Print and Digital Image Championships. (For the rest of this season, there will be no Section Two leagues. This is because there are so few people currently in Section Two. The Committee will look at proposals for reorganising the leagues at their January meeting.)

The top performers in the competition were as follows:
