Neil Spowart visited Musselburgh Camera Club this week to judge our human portrait print competition, our last formal competition of the season. Sadly, I missed this competition because of car problems, so apologies for not being there.

This was a smaller competition than usual, with just 22 prints entered by 8 members. The top scorers were (in reverse order):

• 4th place (47 points)
  • Jim Innes
  • Derek Muller
• 3rd place (48 points)
  • Mike Clark
• 2nd place (49 points)
  • George Todd
  • John West
• 1st place (51 points)
  • Joe Fowler
  • Carol Edmund

The top images were:

• Milla (Joe Fowler) – 18 points
• Katrine (John West) – 18 points
• Pensive (Carol Edmund) – 18 points
• Grandad (Carol Edmund) – 18 points

Well done to the joint winners, Joe and Carol. It looks like it was a tight competition, with just 1 mark separating 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Thank you to everyone who entered and thank you to Neil Spowart for judging the competition for us.

• On Thursday 23rd March we’ll have a special “set of six” night which includes a poster competition. If you have any images that would work on a club poster, or have any ideas for poster design, please bring them along (or send them to George Todd) and we’ll choose our favourite.
• George Todd is collecting club trophies for engraving. Please bring them along.

My car isn’t being serviced this Thursday so there’s a fair chance I’ll make it next time. See you there.
