SLF Print comp details

[Fay]

Hello, what prints go into this please. Does the committee choose them from older prints?

[Chris Nash]

Fay, the SLF Colour Print Competition allows each of the competing clubs to enter 8 prints into the Competition plus a Reserve Print in case of a Tie-Break.  There is a maximum of 2 prints allowed from any one photographer although the Reserve Print could be from a Photographer who has already had 2 prints entered into the main competition.

Yes the Committee selected the entries for this year and they were chosen from Colour Prints that were entered into last season's (2021-2022) OPS Colour Print Competitions.

I hope I have got this right, if not I am sure someone will correct me.

THE SLF Plate Finals were held yesterday and OPS were entered for prints.  In a close competition at the top and the bottom the results were:

1st - Croydon CC = 99
2nd - Oprington PS = 97
3rd - Bromley = 90 (tie-break)
4th - Aperture Woolwich = 90 (tie-break)
5th - South London = 89

There were three judges and they were asked to score each print between 2 and 5 using hand-sets (scores could be from 6 to 15 in total).

There were no prints scoring a maximum of 15 and only 2 prints scored 14.  Both of these were by OPS members:

'Kestrel Landing in the Wind' by Fay Saunders (5 + 5 + 4 =14)
'Vertigo' by Chris Sawyer' (5 + 5 + 4)

Other OPS prints to receive at least one 5 were:

'In the Fog' by Ron Jarvis (5 + 4 + 4 =13)
'They're Off' by Fay Saunders (5 + 5 + 2 =12)

Prints scoring two 5's:



Prints scoring one 5 (and Jay Charnock's back):

Hi,

Well done to Fay and Chris for scoring the highest marks on the night for their images.
Did we get anything for second place, apart from the kudos of beating the other clubs?

[David Barnes]

No prize for coming second.
