I was fortunate (?) enough to be chosen to judge the above annual event. All club members from our federation (N&EMPF) are invited to enter, sadly only 15 individuals put work forward, quite a low number but the quantity of images is then ‘topped-up’ from Rushcliffe PS members.
It is with great pleasure to report another record breaking achievement at the Outlaws. 37 clubs entered this years exhibition with a total of over 3000 images across all sections.
The Outlaws finished in 7th place overall, an outstanding result for what is essentially still a small club.
Our acceptances were as follows;
Each year (well this is the 3rd) we have a friendly (?) battle with Melbourne PS, we have won the first 2 encounters, the last one being by just one point, even after several recounts!
This year they promised to avenge that narrow defeat……………………………
One of Scott’s dramatic flowerscape images – Rojo – was “commended” by judges in this year’s Landscape Photographer of the Year competition and won a place in the Awards book – Landscape Photographer of the Year : Collection 6 – which is published on October 31st.
The image has also been chosen for the Awards postcard pack that is produced to highlight the profile of the competition & photographers and will appear at the National Theatre exhibition which runs from November to January. The Sunday Times Magazine also pulled out Rojo in its exclusive ‘editor’s pick’ of the finalists.
