Summary

Chorley hosted the event via Zoom. The judge was Paul Radden from East Anglia who provided a well balanced commentary on the images submitted.

He held back 15 images, 7 from Preston, 6 from Chorley and 2 from Leyland.


We then had a nail biting finish. With one Chorley and one Preston image left, our scores were level. Both images were scored 19 so we had a tie for the first time that any of us can remember.

The Final Result

PPS tied with Chorley on 346 points, 17 clear of Leyland.

Competition

An ’Open’ competition, so Nature restrictions did not apply. No more than 4 images from any author and all images cannot have been used before in a previous 3 way battle.

20 Projected Digital Images (PDI’s) from each team, each image scoring up to 20 in line with our scoring for internal competitions.

Chorley have set the benchmark by their policy of 1 image per member and I hope that Preston will be able to match this next year.

Preston Photographic Societies Images

All our images were selected by the Selection Committee from the images submitted by members to the Selection bank.

We included images from 12 different members with no more than 2 per member.

We had:


  • 1 image scoring 20
  • 6 images scoring 19
  • 3 images scoring 18
  • 4 images scoring 17
  • 2 images scoring 16, 15, and 14 respectively.
The ‘held’ images which were those that scored 19 or 20 were:
  • Mick Porter with ‘Squabbling chaffinches’ (which top scored with 20) and ‘Freestyle jet ski’.
  • Ian McGill with ‘Incoming little owl’ and ‘Common Kestrel landing’.
  • Iain Jack with ‘Creating Dust’ and ‘Flying splits’.
  • Tim Gilbert with ‘Heron with trout’.
Detailed results and the image are available below.

As always, any questions let me know.
