Judging day for 5 to 8 competition   26th April 2008
A rare sunny Saturday afternoon found members from various camera clubs sat in a darkened Coytrahen Community Centre watching the top 15 entries in our first 5 to 8 Photo Harmony competition. Our distinguished judge, Ian Bateman FRPS MPAGB, kept us all in suspense before announcing the winner as:
David R Neal AFIAP, DPAGB, BPE4* of Eryri Photo Group.
The winning sequence met with universal approval and contained a stunning selection of mountain landscapes. Bridgend Camera Club was well represented with Jenny Hibbert AWPF gaining a well deserved runners up spot, also, our judge felt compelled to award a highly commended to Mike Eady and Jeff Goodwin.
