Steve Ransom Trophy

Our past chairman Steve Ransom sadly passed away in 2020 and we decided to have a competition in his memory. Steve had a wide repertoire in Photography and it was not immediately obvious which genre the competition should be based on. In the main his Photography was centred around Architecture/Landscape/Nature themes and this is the overall source of competition. Each year a more specific theme will be selected from this overall set and the competition will be based on that.

The 2022 theme was Nature/Wild life and the winner was Steve Else with Rain swept bee:
