The Kingswood Salver 12/11/11
Twenty three clubs entered this year and our entry looked well up the general standard. The competition is for a panel of five prints, viewed together, by five different photographers. The judge was Margaret Salisbury from North Wales, an internationally renowned speaker. During the morning, she gave a detailed and constructive assessment of each of the panels. Her comments on the Wadebridge panel were that she was pleased to see a club being adventurous in their theme. She liked the quality of the printing and picked out the central image, by Penry Archer, for particular praise. Margaret also liked the image from Emma Wilson, especially the contrast between the soft and more graphic parts. The winner of the Salver was Phoenix Group from Taunton, whose images were colourful and each very interesting. They were based on umbrellas in various shapes and arrangements, with lovely quality in each print. In the afternoon Margaret gave a superb presentation of her own prints, with a great breadth of styles and subjects. She also showed work from a recent trip to a wedding in Ghana, where her interaction with the people gave the pictures a wonderful intimacy. Visit the wcpf website to see all the panels in the Kingswood Salver competition.

RPS/NARAVA 2011 - Honours for Adrian 31/08/11 As if gracing the cover of the regular Wild Life Trust magazine wasn't exciting enough Adrian's fantastic "Grey Heron Stalking" image has now gone on to be accepted by the RPS for the 2011 International Projected Image Exhibition Ironically it was the only one of four images he entered in the Slovenia based International Contest of Digital Photography NARAVA 2011 not to be accepted for their exhibition. The other three were; "Little Egret", "Great Crested Grebes", "Kingfisher with Fish". It must be a "cultural" thing! Congratulations Adrian on such a great achievement in the international photographic community. We're all very proud of you and I'm delighted to kick off the new season with early news of success.

Paul and John EJ - London Salon '11 Success! 16/05/11 "Suddenly There She Was" has been accepted. The full colour image is a development from a mono submission which was successful in WCPF some time ago. It had a long gestation period. PMcC. John EJ has been successful with 'Bay View' but a different version from that in POY - it's 2 combined >180 degree panoramas. I've also heard that it's got a Silver Medal at Members' Exhibition.

Best Print Portfolio @ CPA! 20/04/11 Wadebridge CC exhibited the best portfolio of prints in Cornwall at the CPA Annual Competition last night with many individual awards being made in the DPI category too! It was certainly a night to remember with Jenni coming Third in the DPI with Brimstone Butterfly. There were five Highly Commendeds including; Adrian (3!) Avocet and Chick, Bittern in Flight and Stalking Heron, Jane for Whitethroat and John EJ for Stilt Preening. I enjoyed only a short reprieve from my own dismal performance, I came bottom in the DPI with just 8 points, when I was first out of the jar for the raffle!

Winning Double at Knightshayes! 12/03/11 The theme for the annual WCPF Knightshayes Trophy was "Missing" and although Penry Archer was himself missing from the awards ceremony, he was awarded Second Prize for his excellent image depicting a scene in which a child, who has been playing now appears to have gone missing from a garden where her toys and pram are left by the poolside from which the water is also missing. John EJ also gained a Highly Commended award for his stylish treatment of a couple who had clearly missed the last train. Well done both of you!
