Blast from the past

[PeterH]

During my enforced clear out of stuff, I came across a KCPA slide competition catalogue from 1981. I was just 28. OPS’s entry included John Abrook ARPS, who later got his F. Paul Foley who also got an F (twice) and yours truly. I got my F 36 years later!

Blast from the past for sure Peter. I assume C = commended, but M = ????

[PeterH]

C was commented on, and M was a merit award.

Peter, I didn't realise your OPS history went back so far.  Good to see you were leading the list even then.

[Richard W]

But do you still have the slides Peter?

[PeterH]

I did have until recently. Think I through it out along with all my other transparencies. It was an ultra macro shot of a ladybird eating aphids. I used bellows and a flash.

222 Slides in a competition, how did that work and how did everyone stay awake?

[Alan Graham]

Some interesting club names there.

It was pre- judged and only the ones marked with a C were shown.
