Leighton Buzzard Photographic Club: Photographic Competition
At Leighton Buzzard Photographic Club on Wednesday January 28 we ran our fourth internal league competition of the 2025-26 season. The set subject, for both prints and projected images, was “Low Angle”.
The Programme notes indicated that this meant “positioning the camera below the subject and shooting upwards, creating a unique perspective that can make the subject appear larger, more powerful, or imposing.”
The entries included a typically creative wide range of subjects and genres. So, we were treated to a great display of landmarks and other architecture, bridges and monuments, trees and wildlife, as well as a pylon, a jet fighter, a staircase, and a big old American car. And there was colour, tinting, and black & white.
Our independent CACC judge for the competition was Peter Prosser APAGB from Watford Camera. He is a most experienced judge and also the mentor for other CACC judges. He was quite strict about “low angle” – mere “low level” was not sufficient.
The top performers were Wendy Taylor LRPS (prints) and Paul Needham, Clive Rayment, and Sally Kitchingman LRPS (projected images).
We are always keen to share our passion for photography and we provide a warm welcome for new members at our meetings at Greenleas School on Derwent Road. We run a varied programme of activities for photographers of all levels. See our website at lbpc.org.uk for details and join us soon to unleash your own creativity.
