A SOOTC competition raises other issues apart from the question of level horizons. For instance most experienced photographers shoot in RAW. What's the rule regarding converting the RAWS to JPEGS and resizing them? Camera clubs and international photo organisations such as the Royal Photographic Society and FIAP insist on entries of JPEG images not exceeding 1400x1050 in size. Full size RAWS and even full size JPEG images would mess up competitions at the projection stage.
I can't ever remember Durham PS running a SOOTC competition since digital photography became universal though we did it with slides in film days.

You're on a roll Alan. Top class.
David

Astonishing, beautiful and very expertly photographed Alan. As already said above, it must be just about the best picture ever taken of Tommy.
David

Excellent Simon. Can always rely on you to do great motor sport photos.

After seeing all these excellent pictures from Croft by you guys and some of my fellow Durham Photographic Society members, including Barrie, I just wish I'd gone along as well. Great selection Carl.
David

Great panning techniques.
David

Great stuff Barrie but I must admit the portraits, particularly the Penelope Keith look-a-like, have the edge on the cars for me.
David

I really like these Derek and Mudge. Well done in creating striking new images from basic original material.

Durham Cathedral is truly awe inspiring. I was in there this morning stewarding our camera club annual exhibition and the light streaming through the Rose Window in the East End was incredible.
Having said that some other cathedrals also have the wow factor. Three weeks ago I was in Wells, Somerset, which is also magical.
David

Really well done Tim, and much deserved. I just wish I had your successful hit rate in the international salons.
David.
