St Helens Camera Club

With our friends at the World of Glass we held an open day to demonstrate all aspects of Photography, from still life and commercial photography to portraiture and lighting.

We demonstrated taking the picture from the camera to the final print and beyond.

Members were available to answer any and all questions about the art and were able to demonstrate many aspects of producing a picture worthy on winning a competition.

Here is a small video taken late in the day of just what we get up to and how we produce all our competition winning images.

Our thanks also go out to Ron who was a magnificent model whilst we demonstrated portraiture, these stunning images were taken by Eric Mercer one of our accomplished and competition winning photographers.

The results from Monday’s competition are as follows

Print – Atherton 181 – St Helens CC 176

PDI – Atherton 183 – St Helens CC 183

Total – Atherton 364 – St Helens CC 359

As you can see it was a very close competition.

The judge, Ken Geddes from Ribbleton CC, has been judging for over 40 years and after the competition he said he found this competition was hard to judge as in all that time he has never seen a competition where all the entries were of such a high quality, so congratulations to all those who had entries. Thanks also to those that attended.

Here are the results in full thank you to everyone for all their hard work and dedication to the competition, see you all next year.

Some of our members have been asking for a standard callibration image to use in post production. We have this image to act as a common reference image.

On the 1st of February we retained the coveted “Clog” which was a fantastic achievment as we won the competition on home ground making it a away and home victory over the past two Years.

Many congratulations to all who entered and especially our members who contributed to such a well deserved win.

Battle of the Clog

It has been many years since St.Helens Camera Club have won the coveted “Clog” Trophy, but on Tuesday 30th January we narrowly beat Wigan Photographic Society to claim bragging rights.

Equal scores on the Print section but a brilliant 2 point winning margin on the PDI section. It is even sweeter to claim the Trophy as the battle was held on Wigan’s home turf.

Congratulation and well done to all the members whose contributions came together to achieve such a great result.
