Jubilee Cup Thursday 8th March
Judge: Naomi Saul
The Jubilee Cup was hosted by Barnet and Finchley Photographic Society and featured photographs submitted by Barnet and Finchley, Potters Bar and Southgate clubs.
You never know what to expect from an ‘open’ interclub competitions with clubs having their own specialism’s. The one thing you are guaranteed is a higher level of competition.
The evening started with the Print competition, this was to prove a particularly fruitful part of the competition for Southgate. Jackie’s ‘mist over the mekong’ scored well as did Kath’s photo of London building cladding which created an abstract photo that Naomi could not work out but liked and again scored well. Only two prints gained full marks, both were submitted by Southgate. Annie’s ‘Arctic fox’ and Ian F’s ‘Discussing Haircuts’. At the halfway stage Southgate lead the competiton by a healthy seven points.
Barnet 99 pts
Potters Bar 106 pts
Southgate 113 pts
Arctic Brown Fox. 20pts
Discussing Haircuts 20pts
Mist on the Mekong 18pts
Stork with Prey 19pts
Shimmering Waves 18pts

The second half featuring ‘PDI’s was more evenly contested. This was partly due to Barnet’s screen presenting too contrasty and saturated with Naomi having to make allowance. Pat’s ‘Vesterhorn at midnight’ was liked by Naomi, a view seen many times before given a different edge by Pat’s image gaining full marks. Carol’s ‘Cheetahs on the lookout’ also gained full marks as did Zahava’s ‘Barbiphobia’
