This years winner ofthe Albert Beale trophy for “Coloured refelections” was Geoff Clinton with his study of Cologne Cathedral. Also commended were Juliet Morton for “River Teifi”, Colin McInnes for “Cafe Reflections” and Michael Shaw for “In a globe”.
The Carter award (for a triptych) in 2017 went to Steve Ballard for “Lighting department”. Commended in this category were “Sundowner” by Gareeh Richards, “Transition” by Colin McInees, “Matlock Bath Illuminations” by Chris Bennett, and “Birds in our garden” also by Chris Bennett.
Both competitions were judged by Mark Buckley-Sharp, who gave some helpful hints for the future, especially up on getting colour balance across all 3 elements of your triptych.
