Patrick receives The Club person of the Year Trophy for 2022
Chris Howes Club Member of the Year 2021 with Paddy Byrne Club Member of the Year 2022. As Chris won the shield during the pandemic when we were meeting on Zoom he never had a formal presentation of the shield so we thought it would be good to get a photo of our two winners together

Criteria for judging:
1. How Technically Correct is the Photo?
Are the following the best they can be? Focus, sharpness, detail, depth of field, colour, brightness, contrast, saturation, usage of light.
2. Subject Matter / Content
How well does it fall within the brief/assignment?
Creativity.
3. Composition
Does the photograph tell a story?
Where is our eye lead to in the photograph?
Is the photograph balanced, if not, is it creating the visual impact it should?

Like all art this is dependent on our own tastes, likes, dislikes and the way we see the world and experience it. It has nothing to do with how experienced photographer is.
