PROJECTED IMAGE OF THE YEAR 2018 competition - 8th May 2018

Andrew Mills LBIPP ARPS joined us to judge our final competition of the year - the PDIOY - and had to choose between 52 entries from club members that had all been entered previously this season.



















The standard was high and the superb mono image above from Tony Bennett clinched the prize against strong competition.  Congratulations to Tony, many thanks to all that entered and a special thanks also to Andrew Mill for giving us excellent critiques on each and every entry.  Andrew is an active professional photographer and his depth of knowledge and experience was very instructive and informative.

Look.see.shoot.

it's all about the pictures!

Make sure you visit us at least once a week to look our latest images and pick up news of anything happening on the Island that might be of interest to photographers, including those of you just visiting the Isle of Wight.

We often get asked by photographers visiting from elsewhere to advise them on the best locations here for various types of photography.  We are always pleased to help if we can.  Go to the Contact Us page and send us a message.  We would like to hear from you.
