Our third internal league competition of the 2024-25 season took place on Wednesday 1 December.

This was an “open” competition (ie, with no set subject) for both prints and projected digital images.

The images entered exhibited, as usual, an eclectic variety of subjects, approaches, and styles – including landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, candid/street, birds, animals, insects, travel, architecture, retro/nostalgia, close-up, still life, abstract, colour and monochrome, and more.

Our independent CACC judge for the competition was Paul Mason from Ealing & Hampshire House Photographic Society.

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:
