At their meeting on February 3rd, Allan Livingstone had about 80 projected digital pictures to judge in stage 2 of North Norfolk Photographic Society's 'Best All Rounder' competition.
Allan - a Scot living in Kings Lynn for some years - has a wicked sense of humour, but spoke on and assessed the photos with great accuracy and fairness - after confessing to his prejudices!
Entrants submitted 4 images - one Landscape, one Portrait, one Nature and one of the member's own choice of subject. The photos were individually judged, the scores added to find the Best All Rounder. The standard was high - 8 pictures got maximum points, interestingly only one of them by the ultimate winner when the individual scores were added up - which goes to show what it means to be 'Best All Rounder'! The winner - by just one mark - was Roland Riddell. Roland is well-known for his wild life photos - and one of his of 3 foraging badgers was quite remarkable, but perhaps not quite so outstanding as his snow scene of dozens of dark clad people enjoying time in the snow - and looking for all the world like figures in a painting by L. S. Lowry!
New members are always welcome - meetings are on alternate Wednesday evenings from Autumn to Spring at 7.30 in the Loades Hall (behind the Methodist Church in Holt) and on the 17th February, Peter Yeo will visit to give a talk entitled 'Here, There and Everywhere', followed on 3rd March by the club's Annual Competition, Prints section.
Anyone interested may just turn up - or give Judy Knights a call on 01263 825418. There is also information on the Society's website, nonops.org.
