First place for this round goes to Steve Ballard with his low-key portrait "Emma in the Shadow" followed by Colin McInnes in second place with his colourful "Burano Reflections" and Juliet Morton third with her action shot "Skill".

Angela McClean claimed first spot with "Under the Mushroom", Colin McInnes took second with "Reach for the Sky ", followed in third place by Richard Craddock and "Heartwood"

The 2022/23 Project Image competition season starts well for the chairman, Colin McInnes, taking the first place honours with his "Lagangarbh Hut at Sunrise", followed closely by Emma Mapletoft (Puffin Monochrome) and Chris Williams (Looking for Something Tasty).

Leading the way for the final PI league competition of this season is Emma Mapletoft with "Vestrahorn", followed in second place by Emma (again) with "Grey Seal Pup"  - a very successful season for her. Third place was taken by Richard Craddock with "Carraig Fhada Lighthouse at dusk". And Angela McLean achieved a highly commended with "Early Morning Across the Valley".

Tuesday 11th Jan saw a Tryptich competition issued as a short notice challenge with just a week to gather images and present three images in one photo, plus the criteria of "Images of the Festive Season" or "Everyday Objects in the Home" was set as the subject. Taking first and second spots Colin McInnes with Weight Veg and Cutlery. Third was John Chance-Read with Collage

This was the club's first portfolio competition and attracted 19 portfolio entries with a total of 129 images - quite a challenge for the judge with some very useful comments for how to get more from our portfolio entries. A portfolio competition will probably become a regular event. The winning entry went to Gareth Richards with "Zagori", second place to Derek Nash with "Trekking through Nepal" and Chris Williams got on the scoresheet again taking third place with "Winter in St Albans".

Emma does it again and takes first spot with her "Kingfisher" image. And taking both second and third places is Richard Craddock with "My Garden Bugs" and "Highland Cow" respectively.

After her success with Image of the Year last season Emma has started this one with a win for "Hallstatt Morning Mist", plus of the 6 images (from 47 entered) to score the maximum 20 points, 3 of them were Emma's - remarkable. Second went to Chris Williams with "Lizzie and Stella" and third Steve Ballard with "Daddy's Lil Monster".
