Points of View

This is a two part competition.  Usually a location is selected and members are given 6 subjects to photograph in or near that location on a particular day.  Members then submit their set of 6 digital images which form the basis of a competition evening.  The images are scored in rounds.  The member with the highest cumulative score wins the trophy.

 Competition date: Sunday 16th October 2011. Venue: St Albans.
