Close Up Photography Competition

Close Up, including Macro, competition

An interesting competition of Close Up photography, an ideal subject while in lockdown and inspired many members to come up with a wide range of subjects. Richard Craddock's 9:42 image of part of a watch face with an exposure of about 2.5 seconds resulting in the "indexed" second hand appearing three times took the honour of first place. A close second and also with 20 points was Hardware Landscape by Chris Williams. Third place went to Steve Else with Bumble Bee. In total the competition attracted 47 images and in spite of a hiccup with the competition software (many thanks to judges' tolerance) it was a successful evening.
