Stowmarket and District Camera Club A new (to us anyway!) judge, Howard King, visited the club on 12 February to judge our ‘OPEN 3’ competition. He gave constructive, useful comments and only gave good marks for good pictures. We would welcome him back again as he enjoyed joining in with our banter! On February we welcomed Mike Lloyd back to judge our ‘WILDLIFE’ competition. He gave a very knowledgeable critique of both the wildlife subject matter and the photography. First was ‘Kittiwake feeding its chick’ by Roy Fidler, Second was ‘Lackford Robin’ by Keith Hyland and Third was ‘Courting Puffins’ again by Roy Fidler. Well done to both of you. Next meetings: Monday 9 April: Colin Stubly Shield for Portraiture and the Audio Visual salver – both to be judged by John Wrigley. Monday 23 April: AGM/club night. Monday 14 May: LECTURE 4: ‘Landscape’ to be given by Justin Minns. New members are always very welcome at the club. All you need is a camera – any camera and a real interest in using it.
