Q1 2015 Press Release
The following press release was compiled by Sue Badger, the clubs publicity secretary.
Quarterly competition: Hum this image!
North Walsham Photographic Group began their 2015-16 season with the first quarterly competition at the end of March with the theme of Song Titles.
The members rose to the challenge in entertaining and amusing ways, the images ranging from classics such as ‘Drink to me only with thine eyes’, ‘Jailhouse Rock’ and ‘Somewhere over the Rainbow’ through to more modern choices, such as ‘Blurred Lines’ and ‘So Ambitious’.
The judge, Malcolm English, entered into the spirit of the theme, but was nonetheless insistent that the song title was accurately reflected in the image and was highly critical if it wasn’t!
There were 3 images which were awarded top score: two of them submitted by the club’s ‘dynamic duo’, Kev Osborne and Ken Yerrill, who were joint winners not so long ago! Their winning images were: ‘Torn’ (Natalie Imbruglia) (Kev) and ‘So Ambitious’ (Jay-Z) (Ken). The 3rd winner was Richard Gambling, unfortunately absent on the evening, but whose image ‘Happy Feet’, from the eponymous movie, was both colourful and joyous! Richard recently took this photograph when he was visiting the annual ‘Lobster Potties’ festival at Sheringham – an unusual angle but one which reflects the song title extremely well.
The next quarterly theme, due to be judged at the start of July, will be ‘Blues’: a wide-open category which will give huge scope for imagination.
If you would like some more information about the club’s activities, please contact the secretary Rachel Farrow on 01692 406526 or email her on NWPGsecretary@yahoo.com
