I have a Chinon 2000 GL Cine Projector and a Reflecta Diamator AFM slide projector. I don't want to dump them if they are of any interest to your members. They are free. I welcome your advice.
We had a great competition yesterday evening, with some excellent images on display, expertly judged for us by Ralph Snooks ARPS DPAGB EFIAP, all the way from the comfort of his home in Bristol.Clearly a lot of the club members had thought long and hard about the subject and produced some very clever and creative images; elsewhere we had natural shadows and silhouettes in abundance. Both types of image featured in the final placings, which were as follows:
Commended images:
Relaxed Zebra - Darran Thompson
Shadows on the Seafront - Willie Wilson
Glasses - Chris Arkell
Light Bulb - Chris Arkell
Placed images:
6th: Watching my Shadow - Eddie Bairstow
5th: Evening Shadows - Stuart Chapman
4th: One by One - Colin Brook
3rd: Whisky Lover - Julie McGowan
2nd: A Portrait in Shadow - Alex Hamer
1st: Me and my Shadow - Julie McGowan
Well done all!

It's been a while since I've added some noteworthy news, but it's always good to promote the best in club photography. This year's battle with good friends and neighbours Kingsbridge is one such event. A stunning array of some of the best photographers here in the southwest all coming together to contest the hotly fought annual Kingsbridge battle which I am proud to announce went to Paignton on this occasion. With a different judge things could have been so very different but as it was, we managed to score 525 points to Kingsbridge's 493 which over 63 images equates to just 1/2 point difference per image. That's pretty tight by any standard. Going through the images for this article I was hugely impressed with the standard of photography and I would have personally marked several Kingsbridge images higher than Judge John Tilsley APAGB DPAGB ARPS. That being said, I thought John brought a breath of fresh air to the judging process by providing some key insights into what he looks for in an image. We can all learn from this. Roll on 2022 when no doubt Kingsbridge will want to give us a good hiding.
You can see all of the images submitted to the competition, including the photographer and their scores, together with the top 3 ranked images as judged by John by clicking here.

I wondered if any of your members would be interested in this. I am not looking for anything for it, but it seems a shame to take it to the tip,
Paignton Photographic Club is a long established club with members of all ages and every walk of life. Monday night meetings are held in the Methodist Hall in Paignton where a wide range of guest speakers talk about their photographic journey and provide us all with insights to help us improve as photographers. Members are encouraged to enter competitions which cater for every level within the club. For the new season, our membership fee is £48 for the year with concessions for couples and for young people. Fees are pro-rata for those joining later in the season.
It's a great image right! Unfortunately, it's copyright its respective owner so I'm afraid you can't download it. If an image catches your eye, perhaps you want to use it in an editorial or marketing campaign, contact us and we'll put you in touch with the owner.
