Last night we hosted our Annual PDI (Projected Digital Image) Competition.
Our judge for the evening was Ian Bateman FRPS MPAGB AV-AFIAP APAGB, of Exmouth Photo Group and he provided insightful commentary that balanced technical precision with an appreciation for the “soul” of an image. The competition is an Open one, split across 5 categories: General; Landscape; Nature; Monochrome; and Portrait.
Ian reviewed all of the entries within each category, choosing a winner of each, before rounding up the evening by choosing the Overall Winner.
A huge thank you to Ian for his time, his sharp eye, and his critics. Whether you won one of the categories or simply took home some new ideas for your next shoot, last night was a testament to the thriving creative spirit of our club.
Congratulations to all our winners and a big thank you to everyone who entered (all of the entries can be viewed in our Gallery here).
