Citylife in Lichfield November 2023

Lichfield
Camera Club
The start of Lichfield Camera Club’s new
season saw a change to the format of
club’s internal competitions with each
entry being scored by an external, independent
judge out of a total of 20 marks.
The high standard of images clearly impressed
judge Mike Taylor who awarded maximum marks to
four images and 19 points to a further 13 images.
There were some excellent still life images
including Nan’s Favourite by Peter Evans; “Poppies”
was a very effective monochrome by Sandra
Morgan; and “Rainbow Vases” from Anne Anderson
added a splash of colour and lovely reflections.
Andy Malbon captured this moody landscape
“Castle Stalker”; Richard Plant showed how to
effectively frame a subject with anther moody
image “Three sheep, two trees, one foggy morning”;
and in contrast, Madeleine Butler’s photograph
“Flowering Rush” displays soft, pastel colours
against a nicely defocused background.
Architectural shots were popular entries as
shown by Kevin Terry’s traditional, iconic image
“Whitby Abbey”; Ann Wright took a very different
approach in her ethereal image “Bangkok Skyline”;
and Nigel Lord captured the colours of Italy with
his cityscape “Piazza Armerina”.
All the fun (and scares) of the fair can be seen in
Steev Stamford’s “How much fun are we having”,
and finally, the sensitive portrait “Xenia”, by Steve
Clifford, was one of two images by him that score a
maximum 20
marks.
Lichfield Camera Club welcomes
photographers of all abilities and meets
at 7.45pm each Wednesday at Lichfield
Methodist Centre, Backcester Lane.
