Our first competition of the year, the Quig Quaich, took place on Monday 10th October. As always, Robert Quig gave a thorough and thoughtful review of all the entries, with ideas as to how the images might be improved. The Quaich was won by Kevin Thorne, whose six images scored 108 points from a possible 120. Kevin’s varied entry included an abstract, a sports shot, two bird images, a minimalist monochrome image of the Armadillo building in Glasgow, and a cracking photo of ‘Mary’s Shell’ (a long exposure photo of a shell-like sculpture standing in the sea).
Kevin’s high standard work pushed John Sommerville’s entry out of the top spot, However, John deservedly won second place achieving a great score of 103 points. Fiona Couser and Alan Stewart shared third spot.
Congratulations to Kevin on a well-deserved win, and thanks again to Robert for his careful judging.
