Camborne & Redruth Camera Club (CRCC)
Thursday 26 February 2010
At the Camborne-Redruth Camera Club’s meeting held at the Treleigh Church Hall last Thursday evening Reg Poad (Chairman) welcomed professional photographer Geoff Hitchens of St Ives to judge the Third Open Competition of its winter programme.
In his opening remarks Geoff said that he was very impressed with the overall high quality of the work presented to him to judge and how the Club has adapted to and embraced the new technology. In his commentary Geoff made it clear that the final results were purely his personal opinion and given a different judge the results could be quite different. He gave useful tips how some images could be improved and felt that more care should be taken with the treatment of backgrounds, which in some cases almost dominated the principal subject. He liked the ideas in many of the entries which could be developed further but was not so sure of those entries giving rise to the question ‘Is it photography or is it art?’.
