I have a Chinon 2000 GL Cine Projector and a Reflecta Diamator AFM slide projector. I don't want to dump them if they are of any interest to your members. They are free. I welcome your advice.

It's been a while since I've added some noteworthy news, but it's always good to promote the best in club photography. This year's battle with good friends and neighbours Kingsbridge is one such event. A stunning array of some of the best photographers here in the southwest all coming together to contest the hotly fought annual Kingsbridge battle which I am proud to announce went to Paignton on this occasion. With a different judge things could have been so very different but as it was, we managed to score 525 points to Kingsbridge's 493 which over 63 images equates to just 1/2 point difference per image. That's pretty tight by any standard. Going through the images for this article I was hugely impressed with the standard of photography and I would have personally marked several Kingsbridge images higher than Judge John Tilsley APAGB DPAGB ARPS. That being said, I thought John brought a breath of fresh air to the judging process by providing some key insights into what he looks for in an image. We can all learn from this. Roll on 2022 when no doubt Kingsbridge will want to give us a good hiding.

You can see all of the images submitted to the competition, including the photographer and their scores, together with the top 3 ranked images as judged by John by clicking here. Please remember, all images are copyright their respective owners and should not be copied, duplicated or used in any way without the written permission of the photographer to which they belong. If you would like to use an image for any purpose, please contact us and we will put you in touch with the owner directly.

Hi Everyone Sharron Godfrey has asked me to warn you about her experience on Dartmoor. Please be careful and stay safe when you go out there.  Hi Cornelia,   wondered if you could put out an email to the club.... we have just returned from a lovely afternoon up on Dartmoor (first journey up there since lockdown started!) parked up at Holwell Lawn hoping to see the bluebells but they haven't come out yet.  Still had a lovely walk round and then came back to the car to find some bastard has smashed the side rear window of the car to gain access into the car, and then put the seats down to get into the boot.  Luckily I had my camera and wallet with me, so nothing stolen.  We had left about 18" gap between the car and the wall and this of course is the side they got in.   Just a warning to folks thinking of going up there not to leave anything valuable, not even in your boot....regards  Sharron CorneliaCornelia Frost PhotographyMOBILE:  07484121748E-MAIL: This email address is being protected from spambots.
