Caught on camera: Stunning competition images taken by Newport Photographic Club

The group, who meet at Weston Hall, at Harper Adams University, held competitions for the best Monochrome Print of the Year and the best Colour Print of the Year.

The evening was judged by Dave Tucker who gave an interesting commentary on the prints and provided lots of useful suggestions and tips on how the images could be improved.

The Best Monochrome Print of the Year was won by Phil Green, with High Water.

Runner Up was Howard Broadbent with Avocet in Flight and third place went to Maria Macklin with Architectural Elegance.

Fourth was again Broadbent with City Hall and fifth Edward Kosinski with Evening Constitutional. Sixth was Norman O’Neill with One Up, One Down.

The Best Colour Print of the Year was won by Broadbent with Caught on Camera and Macklin was runner-up with Playful Exploration, Liverpool.

Brian Truslove was third with Elephant Hawk Moth and Steve Rex was fourth with Morning Mist.

Phil Green took fifth with Umbrella Street and Rob Gormley followed with Ephemeral Still Life.
