June 2023 PDI Competition
The Outlaws year is now in full swing and we have had a number of outdoor photographic events, Printed image competitions and Projected Digital Image competitions (PDI). This evening it is the third PDI of the year and Lester Woodward currently holds the top position in the Outlaw league table. The evenings judge was Stefan
There were two categories to judge, the Open category and the Themed which was “Patterns in Nature”. In total there were 27 entries in the open and 29 in the themed.
The Open competition attracted many genres of photography from architectural, travel, sport, nature, portrait and street. The themed competition equally had a wide variety of images and Stefan gave detailed critique before scoring the images presented to him.
