4th MARCH 2022 - FRIDAY - Fosse Co-op Camera Club Inter Cities Trophy 2022 We are extremely proud to be able to tell you that Corby came second out of 14 clubs in this years Fosse Co-op InterCities Competition. Congratulations go to Leicester Forest on their win, with thanks to Fosse, for hosting, and the Judge Mike Sharples MFIAP MPAGB FBPE ARPS EFIAP. This was our last External Competition for this season, which has been very successful with us beating both Desborough and Market Harborough in our Annual Battles. We have done better than we have ever done at St Ives and at Fosse. We have had Images accepted in MCPF Photofolio and Midphot plus several other National and International Exhibitions and Salons. Surely our success has been due to everyone upping their game and producing some outstanding images in our monthly competitions. This has given the club as a whole the material to select good entries in all the competitions. Well done everybody.

2nd MARCH 2022 DPI Battle with Market Harborough Photographic Society Judge Harry Emmett CPAGB roll of honour L&CPU A great evening with our friends at Market Harborough Photographic Society for this years annual battle. Well done to Market Harborough who achieved the top two placed images, however congratulation go to Corby for a very decisive win. Many thanks goes to the judge Harry Emmett CPAGB from Accrington Camera Club. Harry was a very astute judge who never missed a detail. He enthused over the good points of the weaker images, made constructive suggestions on how to improve the stronger ones and gave a broad range of measured and meaningful marks.

23rd FEBRUARY 2022 - Monthly Competition Subject 'Roads, Tracks and Byways' Judge David Kissman CPAGB BPE2 Our Club Monthly DPI Competition with the subject 'Roads Tracks and Byways' which despite being a difficult subject in some ways, still managed to attract an entry of 45 images. Thank you all for making a very good effort. The seven images held back by the judge were all extremely good and it was nice to see that those seven images were from six different members showing the overall standard of our work across our membership is improving. Congratulations goes to Barry our President and Treasurer for his outstanding winning image 'Curve in the Road' which I (and obviously the judge) felt portrayed the subject extremely well while still being a well composed, impactful, and a pleasing image. A very worthy winner! Congratulations to Barry for 1st place 1st Barry - 'Curve in the Road' 20 points 2nd Michael - 'Into The Sunset' 19 points 3rd Malcolm - 'Somewhere under The Rainbow' 19 points  Curve in the Road
26th JANUARY 2022 - Monthly Competition Subject 'Open' Judge: Clive Tanner FRPS, MPAGB, APAGB Clive is a member of Maidstone Camera Club and you can see his gallery on their website maidstonecameraclub.org.uk Although, perhaps, better known by some for his enthusiastic administration of KCPA and PAGB activities, Clive Tanner is an accomplished photographer, primarily of church architecture. He provides several lectures, including an enthralling evening with his print lecture, "Beyond Divine Light", combining his early "career" in photography and his passion for church photography. Having started with a 5x4 view camera, Clive now uses a combination of tilt-shift lenses, HDR and detailed attention to every part of his images. You will seldom have seen a better collection of prints on the subject than his MPAGB entry. He has judged and lectured widely, mainly to Clubs in the South East. Clive was a very hard task master, and we had some very surprising results at times with a wide range of marks from 11 to 20. Congratulations to Andrei and Christine with their 20-mark images. The gap at the top of the WJB Swingler League is getting tighter and there is still not a clear-cut winner so there is all to play for. Congratulations to Christine for 1st place 1st Christine - 'Dusk Over Elgol Beach' 20 points 2nd Andrei - 'Iris After The Rain' 20 points 3rd Christine - 'Raining On Cromer Pier' 20 points
15th DECEMBER 2021 - Monthly Competition Subject 'Twilight' Judge: Nick Akers ARPS BPE3 It was great to see that the ten held back images all scoring 18 marks or more came from 9 different members in last nights competition. This shows that the overall standard of our images are getting better and I thank you all for making the effort throughout 2021. The individual winners were Gavin in first place with “Normanton Church” scoring 20 points. Ann a very close second also scoring 20 points with her “Elephant At Sunset”. Sandra was not far behind in third place with “The Dusk Drive” with 19 points. Sandra needs a special mention as her image was taken using a mobile phone and proves that you don’t always need an expensive camera and lens to take great images. I would also like to mention Barry and Christine who along with Gavin had the highest aggregate scores of the evening with a total of 53 points each. Congratulations to Gavin for 1st place 1st Gavin - 'Normanton Church' 20 points 2nd Ann - 'Elephant At Sunset' 20 points 3rd Sandra - 'The Dusk Drive' 19 points  Normanton Church
8th DECEMBER 2021 - Christmas Dinner
At last, an opportunity for us all to meet up in person at The Sondes Arms, Rockingham, I'm sure all those who could attend would agree it was a good evening with an enjoyable meal and excellent company. Merry Christmas Everyone! 6th DECEMBER 2021 (MONDAY) - Photo Vision Challenge A new Competition organised by Folkstone Camera Club and between 13 clubs throughout the UK. This was held last Monday and Corby scored one of the 4 top scoring images of 20 in the open section with Ann Dickson’s 'Herring Gulls Running On Water' Well done Ann! We also scored 18 with two other images in this section. Unfortunately this was only enough to obtain tenth place out of 13. We were only allowed one image per person over both sections and 6 of these were in the open section. The other two images were in the themed section 'Natural Waterscapes' this gave us a bit of a problem as we didn’t have a lot to chose from and images that might have done better in the open section were not used due to author limits. However we did manage an 18 with Janette Wilson’s 'Sunrise on the Loch'. Well done Jenette! This put us in 11th place. Congratulations go to Catchlight Camera Club who were the overall winners. The Judges: Open Section Carol McNiven Young FRPS EFIAP BPE4* CPAGB Themed Section David Kissman CPAGB BPE2*  Herring Gulls Running On Water 1st DECEMBER 2021 - Coastal Photography by Alison Taylor ARPS Coastal and seascape Photography. The use of different techniques to reflect the many moods of the sea and waves. The feedback received from members for this talk by Alison Taylor ARPS has been the most enthusiastic we have had this year and deservedly so. Her excellent images covering a wide range of styles, moods and techniques was delivered in a professional no nonsense way and made for a very enjoyable evening. Requests to book Alison again for another talk have been plentiful so we hope to see her again in the near future. www.alisontaylorphotography.org 
24th NOVEMBER 2021 - Monthly Competition Subject 'Open' Judge: Carol McNiven Young FRPS EFIAP BPE4 DPAGB www.cmyimages.co.uk Zoom has allowed us to have some excellent judges and last night was no exception when we had the privilege of the company Carol McNiven Young FRPS EFIAP BPE4 DPAGB who judged this month open subject competition. Carol not only gave us a very enjoyable evening but her judging was exceptional. It is a very difficult juggling act, marking and critiquing images and giving meaningful scores without making entrants of the lower scores despondent and I think she achieved all of these things in a very confidant, entertaining and professional way. I hope we have the pleasure of seeing Carol again at Corby and we must also give credit to Christine who made the booking. Congratulations to Ann for 1st place 1st Ann - 'Two Gannets Fighting over a Fish' 20 points 2nd Malcolm - 'Blea Tarn' 19 points 3rd Christine - 'Old Farmhouse in The Woods' 19 points  Two Gannets Fighting over a Fish
3rd NOVEMBER 2021 - Members Evening Thank you everyone who contributed images and made yesterday a full and interesting evening. An evening which encouraged members to show photos that are not necessarily appropriate for competition. A relaxed and informal evening, giving members the opportunity to show and discuss their work, share where and why they took the photo and let us know what problems they had to overcome and even why things didn’t go as well as planned. A great opportunity to ask for or share advice. |
