| The following e-mail message from Tom Bell, Chairman of Cumbernauld: |
| "Congratulations, you win! As mentioned in my
previous e-mail I arranged for all the slides to be judged last night. I
had them judge both sets of slides (all mixed up). The judges were
intrigued about judging the slides on a computer monitor and also with the
fact that everything was done over the Internet. The judges were: Tom
Gorman, the current President of the Scottish Photographic Federation no
less. He is a very experienced judge and lecturer. Libby Smith, President
of Carluke Camera Club and thought by many to be the best judge in
Scotland. She's an expert printer and is extremely knowledgeable about
digital imaging. Jack Yule, Treasurer of the SPF, who has helped organise
more National and International competitions than anyone else I know. He's
also a very good judge! Our club members were really impressed with Willem
van Zyl's "Namib Landscape" and Friso Woudstra's "Ghost Tree", which they
think is a slide sandwich. One slide which drew some wry comments was Piet
Sparks' "Misty Morning". Nobody would be out walking in shirt sleeves on a
misty morning in Scotland, even on the beach - it's too cold! We really
enjoyed seeing your slides, several of which would do well in the Scottish
Salon. We must do this again! Tom" |
