Gwent Photographic Society hosted our annual battle on the 15th June 2023. As visitors we were made to feel very welcome. The half time buffet & tea was unanimously awarded 20 points.
The competition was ably judged by Brian Coleman AFIAP AWPF APAGB Hon.FWPF who provided excellent feedback & critique. After the print section Cardiff were adrift by 6 points with Gwent able to present some top quality photographs. We faired better in the digital section but were only able to claw back a single point so in the end it was another Gwent victory. The final scores were…
| Cardiff | 361 |
| Gwent | 366 |
We were represented by photographs made by Dave Barton, Chris, Trevor, Andre, Dean, Dave Russell, Sadie, Richard, Tim, Niall & Jeff. Well done to Andre (for “Iguana” & “Male broad bodied chase”), Trevor (for “The basketball player”) & Jeff (for “The mushroom family”) whose photographs all achieved a maximum individual score.
