From mid-February to mid- May is the busiest part of the year for members of Ribbles- dale Camera Club, when their Annual Competitions take place and the area’s inter-club


competitions follow them. It all culminates in selecting the very best images for the annual club exhibition, and putting it together. The club’s internal com­


petitions are divided into several classes. Open Colour and Monochrome (general­ ly black-and-white), but al­ so with specialised sections for Portraiture, Nature and Record. The judge for the projections was Adrian Lines, one of thebest photographers and judges in the North-West. In the Colour Open, Garry


Williamson’s “Apocalypse” was given first place, followed by Paul MacNeill’s “Bluebell Wood” and Francine Critch- ley’s “The Quiraing”. In the Mono class, the winner was Steve Procter’s “Light and Dark” followed by two more images from Garry, “The Rot” and “Taken”. Steve Procter was again


Live music events continue

changed its requirements re­ cently. No longer is a sharp image of a rare species suffi­ cient: capture of behavioural aspects of the species is now expected. Steve Procter also did very well in this class with a first and third; “Peregrine Predator” and “Silverback Western Lowland Gorilla”. His entries were split by Stephen Robinson’s “Tiger Flies”, a re­ markable shot of mating in­ sects. All three conformed to


the requirements, the judge agonisingly going back over the top images time and time again before announcing his decision. Breaking into what might


have been a monopoly of win­ ners, Record produced three different names, Trevor Mar- klew winning with “Byker Estate Building”. Competi­ tion Secretary Kevin Preston gained second with “Stained Glass Windows, Victoria Baths” and third place was awarded to Peter Seavers with “Pugin Altar, Barton-in-lr- well”.

competitions helps selection of entries for the inter-club competitions. The L&CPU competition has sections for Colour, Mono and Nature. The competition was over two days, with three inter­ national judges being able to award up to five marks with an electronic handset,-giving a maximum of 15. Two days are necessary as the judges have to consider around 3,000 im­ ages in total.


In the Print section, judged


the first day, Ribblesdale fin­ ished in a respectable mid­ way 20th place out of32 clubs. The highest marked entries were from Sue Marsden, Clare Drew, Stephen Robinson and Steve Procter. On the sec­ ond day, with Projected Im­ ages, Steve Procter gained a magnificent 14 marks with “Silverback Western Low­ land Gorilla”, while his “Per­ egrine Predator” was given 13 and “Tuesday’s Child” and “Light and Dark” both scored 12. A similar score of 12 was attained by Adrian Binney with “Yosemite after Winter


Storms” and “Elk Shaking off Snow”, along with Gary Wil­ liamson’s “The Rot”, Michael Critchley’s “Precious Mo­ ment”, and Andy Watkin’s “Bentley”. This consistently high scoring was significant, . putting Ribblesdale in a very creditable eighth place overall * out of 44 entrant clubs. • Ribblesale Camera Club
