A highly successful evening! The Hasselblad Interclub Trophy competition was held at Arreton Community Centre on the 28th February 2009, hosted by the Isle of Wight Photographic & Digital Society. Three clubs took part, the hosts, Sandown, Shanklin & District Camera Club and Wightbalance Photography Plus. Each club submitted ten projected images which were judged by Barry Day, visiting from Portsmouth. A total of ten images were held over for further judging, six of which were our images. The final result was: 3rd place for the host club, 2nd place for Sandown, Shanklin & District Camera Club and 1st place to Wightbalance Photography Plus. There were 3 top marked images, 2 from Wightbalance and 1 from Sandown, Shanklin & District. Following the presentation of the trophy, Barry Day rounded off the evening with an excellent slideshow of a selection of his own images. Our thanks to our hosts for providing a very entertaining evening - and we are proud to hold our very first Trophy! Well done to our contributing members! |
