On Wednesday 8 th February 2023, Dunchurch Photographic Society
gave itself a flavour of the cinematic as members fought in the 2 nd
Round of the 2022-23 season Merit Competition. The set theme for
this round was \u2018Film Titles\u2026\u2019 So, we reached the mid-point of the
three round marathon competition and all of the four trophies were
still very much up for grabs as our members entered images into the
competition in order to earn the points that may see them to glory!
Successful images in each round earn points, whether they were
Commended, Highly Commended, Third, Second or First. There are
four categories \u2013 the Novice Print section, Novice Projected Image
section, Advance Print section and the Advanced Projected Image
section. That means, four different champions will be declared by the
end of the Merit competition marathon.
Our judge for the evening was Paul Nickerson. Starting with the two
Print competitions in the first half of the evening, Paul gave an
overview of the entries submitted by our members. After a short tea
break, Paul then oversaw the judging of the two Projected Image
competitions.
Once again, the Dunchurch Photographic Society members offered
entries that were well thought out in terms of content, subject matter
to fit the \u2018Film Title\u2019 brief and in several cases, injected some much
welcome creative humour into the collection of entries. Very well
done to all of our members who entered the competition.
My key thanks as Chairman go to Paul for being our judge for the
evening, and to ALL of our members who entered the competition \u2013
there is no competition without YOU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—
Congratulations to all of the photographers who were successful
across the four categories for this second round.
Round 3 follows on Wednesday 22nd February 2023 at 7.45pm at the
WI Hall on Southam Road, Dunchurch. Come along and witness the
crucial climax of the Merit Competition for this season. The set theme
will be \u2018Architecture.\u2019 Lots of points still to play for, and the
destination of the four Merit Competition trophies is still very much
uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
