SUMMARY:PROJECT: Portrait Pairs
DESCRIPTION:Last month we set the challenge to pair up and take portraits of each other\, so each participant gets to be both a model and a photographer. This evening we get to see the results. Should make for an interesting and fun evening. \nRules \nThere aren’t any hard or fast rules. You just need to take a photo of the person you were paired with. It can be in or outdoors\, posed or natural. It is a portrait challenge though\, so we would like to see their face. \nUseful Resources \nhttps://www.masterclass.com/articles/portrait-photography-tips \n8 Portrait Photography Tips Every Photographer Should Know \n \n

SUMMARY:COMPETITION: Head to Head Towcester
DESCRIPTION:We prepare to do battle once more with Towcester with 20 images from each club\, judged by an independent judge. If you haven’t heard yet\, we lost by 3 points. I attach the scoresheet. There were some great photos from the Towcester crew and they had two twenty pointers (we didn’t get any). That said they also received 4 x 15 points (the lowest scores given) whereas we only got 2. Shows how close it was\, but we need to up our game!
