Updated: 13th October 2011. This year's exhibition breaks new ground, in that it will be open for two days: the 25th and 26th of October.
Entry is free on both days. Members of the public may vote for their favourite image in the exhibition and members will be at hand throughout both days to answer any questions or queries.
Members should submit their print titles to Gary and digital images (prepared as for monthly competitions) to John by the 8th of November at the latest. You may down load a PDF version of the poster by clicking on the graphic below.
Updated: 26th October 2011. Our first round match against Hitchin CC was nail-bitingly close and could have gone either way. In the end, we emerged victorious by a single point, 409 to 408. Detailed results are available here.
Our second round match will be against Shillington CC at 8pm on Monday 12th December. The venue will be Barton Village Hall, Hexton Road, Barton-le-Clay MK45 4JY
One disappointing aspect of an otherwise successful entry was the very small number of members who submitted images for consideration for selection - only five, out of a membership of over forty. Several of the images we used had obvious short comings, which the judge was not slow to point out. We will neeed to improve the standard of our entry considerably if we wish to emulate last year's journey to the final. It doesn't matter if you don't think your image is perfect, or as good as those that succeed in the club's internal competitions: every image we can choose from helps us: generally speaking, inter club competitions are not won by a few strong images, but they can most certainly be lost by a few weak ones. If you would like some advice about the type of images we are looking for, please speak to Gary or to John.

Updated: 21st March 2011. Our semi-final against our good friends from Swavesey was nail-bitingly close and could have gone either way. In the end, we emerged victorious, our final two images turning a deficit of 1 into a winning margin of 2. The final score was St Ives 423-421 Swavesey. Detailed results are available here.

An all new portfolio of awe-inspiring Highland photography from Scotland's finest photographer.
Colin Prior's work is about landscape photography at it's limits. Shooting at the magic hours of dusk and dawn, he catches those rare moments when composition, fine light and colour combine to create a memorable image. Each photograph captures fleeting moments of nature which will never repeat themselves exactly.
The images verge on obsession - Colin camped out on the remotest peaks in Scotland to obtain them.
The portfolio combines breath-taking new examples of Colin's trademark panoramas - which continue to appeal to the tourist and travel markets - with a range of new medium format images that push the boundaries of digital photography.
