All of the photographs entered into the competition are displayed in the window of the Town Council offices from 12th October until 1st November, make sure you stop by to take a look at them.

Thanks to everyone for taking part in this event.

The judging panel met to review all of the images entered into the Cricklade Photo Competition, considering such aspects as composition, lighting, relevance to Cricklade and overall impact.

As well as choosing a winning entry in each age group, each of the judges selected a photograph that they felt had particular merit.

We are delighted to announce the following results:

Winner of Under 10 years: –  Tara Butwell

Winner of Under 16 years: –  Luca Barton

Winner of Adult: – Michelle Butcher

 and the judges selections were:

1  Julie Titcombe

2  Anthony Marson

3  Paul Norris

4  Sarah Wilkinson

 All entrants to the competition are invited to come along to Cricklade Camera Club’s own competition evening at 7:00pm on Tuesday November 3rd in the Town Hall Annexe. 

The winners of the summer competition will be presented with their prizes by McFarlane Property, and everyone has the opportunity to see the Camera Club’s images critiqued by an external photography judge.

Club Nights

On Tuesday 3rd November at 7:30pm in the Cricklade Town Hall Annexe, it is the first round of the club’s annual league competition. Members will have entered up to 2 digital images and 2 printed images; they will be scored by an external judge on the night. Even if you haven’t entered any images come along, it’s a great way to learn what makes a great photograph.

On Tuesday 17th November at 7:30pm in the Town Hall Committee room is a workshop entitled “Post Processing”. Learn how to make a photograph an interpretation of what you saw, rather than simply what the camera captured.
