Summer Challenge 2022

Summer challenge 2022 – “Celebrating the British Countryside in Summer”

The entries may be viewed here

“This may be a long title but I hope it inspires you to go out and photograph our beautiful countryside with its rivers, hills, villages, canals, woods and coasts. I could go on but you know what is out there, and we would like photos taken this summer, not archive images.

The closing date for entries is midnight on Friday 26 August, after which all members are invited to vote for their favourite images. The scores will be collated by David Bird.

 Each member may enter up to 3 images, the usual 1600×1200 pixels, sRGB colour space, with the file named as Title by Name. Entries should be sent to competition@ludshottpc.org.uk 

The Summer Challenge has been running since 2008 as a web based bit of fun during the summer break, and winners since 2012 can be seen on our website at https://ludshottpc.org.uk/summer-challenge. There are some excellent collections from past years.

Jim Henson Competition Results
26 March 2022

Congratulations to Harold Russell, our Chairman, for winning the 2022 Jim Henson AV trophy, and a special thank you to our judge Ian Bateman for an interesting and informative afternoon. The meeting was held on Zoom, and started with some of Ian’s excellent AVs. Ian commented on each AV as it was played in the second half, making this a good learning event as well as being entertaining. It was a lovely sunny March day, so the audience was smaller than expected, but those who were in attendance were given a treat.
