1 in a 100 Competition – 2015

by Philip Atkinson | Apr 10, 2015 | Competitions

We had 25 images going into the 1 in a 100 competition, which took place Thursday, 9th April, at Moot House, The Stow, Harlow, home of Harlow Photographic Society.

For anyone who doesn’t know this competition, four camera clubs get together,  25 images each, and there’s just one winner, the best of the lot.  It’s a great opportunity to see what other members of the Federation are up to…

The judging was by Bob Norris.

The great news is that Caroline Preece with her excellent image of Brighton Pier won.

That’s not all! Whilst there shouldn’t really have been any other images placed the judge did, unofficially, state his 1, 2, 3, 4 which included Stephanie Waterman (3rd) for her Harvest Mouse image and Matt Russell for his Alien Apple – winner of round 3 of the Walker Projected.

The next external competition we will be unstoppable!!!
