Mono Competition Results
The Stroud Camera Club’s annual monochrome competition saw an excellent turnout, with a total of 32 print entries and over 40 digital entries in a highly competitive field. Our judge for the evening, Steve Field from Bristol Photographic, praised the high standard of work on display, making his task of selecting winners particularly challenging.
A special congratulations to Mick West, who, despite being new to printing, took first place in the print competition—an impressive achievement. In the digital category, Carol Barchou dominated the podium, securing both second and third place with her outstanding entries.
Well done to all who entered, and thank you to Steve Field for his insightful judging. The competition highlighted the incredible talent within the club, setting a high bar for future contests!
