Photographic Competition 2013

The time is nearing when members need to start thinking about their entries to the 2013 competition. The rules have now been published in the Newsletter/ website so you have the chance to submit up to twelve images between the three categories. In 2012 a hard fought competition resulted in Brian Winter’s hovering Kestrel winning the flight category and the Gordon Langsbury Memorial Trophy so this year will it be you? If you need any help in submitting your entries contact Colin (details shown in the Rules) but remember, not every year has such fantastic images, so its always worth a try. As usual there will be voucher prizes for photographic or optical goodies for the winners and runners-up in each category.

In 2013 we are delighted to have David Cromack back again with a new judge, Margaret Welby. You can see more about Margaret on her website http://www.margaretwelby.com/index.htm but suffice it to say that she has considerable experience and skill in bird photography including winning a ‘Highly Commended’ in the very challenging BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition. With your entries we expect another great evening in 2013. (For those who, like us, felt the projection of the images didn’t help last years competition we are working on changing the methods to improve your enjoyment of the entries).
