Rhiwbina camera club hosted our annual battle on the 28th April 2023. As visitors we were made to feel very welcome and treated to some interesting vegan snacks with our half time cuppa. It was great to touch base with the Rhiwbina members.
The competition was ably judged by Martyn Pinches AFIAP AWPF who provided excellent feedback & critique. After the scores had been counted it was a Cardiff win. The final scores were…
| Cardiff | 339 |
| Rhiwbina | 329 |
We were represented by photographs made by Dave Barton, Chris, Trevor, Andre, Dean, Dave Russell, Sadie, Richard & Niall. Well done to Andre (for “The Kingfisher and the newt”) and Trevor (for “Twilight fishing”) whose photographs both achieved a maximum individual score.
