Add to that top notch communications regarding the programme from John Sommerville, Club Secretary, keeping us all up-to-date with the logistics of each event.

For the first time, Kilmaurs Photographic Club, celebrates joint winners of our annual league, with a superb show of photography across our 2024-25 season.

Jim Stevenson had kept up his usual very high standards during the first three qualifying competitions. He seemed to be running away with the league. That was until Dale Powell caught him at the final Annual competition, closing a five point gap.

Something different this week. Members had swapped raw files with a partner, and then had processed both their own raw file and their partner’s raw file, each creating two and sometimes more final images. It was both an engaging and instructive evening!

The range of images in the raw files was considerable and included: a performer at Edinburgh Fringe; the Auld Brig at Ayr; a castle tower; dog statues; a still morning at Loch Leven; a dog portrait; a cross-country cyclist; a Mediaeval market courtyard; a robin on a bench; a vintage bride-and-groom image; and a coiled snake.
