Our final competition of the year was one of our finest with Judge Roy Sewall giving us wonderful critiques and suggestions. It was “Oldies Night”, the photographers had an opportunity to enter their images taken more than two years ago.  I thought I might have seen some vintage prints.  Some interesting stats , we had 132 total pictures reviewed by Roy, 995 total submitted for the year and averaged 124 photos a month.  Wow !, we have one prolific group of photographers.  We will announce the Photographers of the Year, the Prints of the Year, Digital Images of the Year and Versatile Photographers of the Year in each of our three Classes at our End of the Year Banquet , June 6th. This event is a great way for all of our club to enjoy an evening of celebrations and support for all of our winners.
