Monochrome magic: Pam Sargeant takes top prize

Pam Sargeant took the honours in Leek Photographic Club’s first projected image competition of the season, after judge Graham Currey described her winning photograph as one of the best long-exposure images he had seen.

The competition, held yesterday evening, saw 67 monochrome images compete for the top prize. With members watching, Graham faced the task of deciding which images would survive each round of judging.

After a series of critiques and much deliberation, he reduced the field to 34. The audience then watched as he worked through the shortlist, awarding commended, highly commended and very highly commended distinctions.

As the numbers fell, the tension mounted. When Graham reached the final 10, he described them as a stunning panel of monochrome images, adding that any one of them would be worthy of winning the competition.

Three images eventually emerged from the field. Gary Waterhouse took third place with Stokksnes Beach, while Kevin Burton claimed second place with Tri-umphant.

The overall winner was Pam Sargeant with Cleveleys. Graham praised the photograph as one of the best long-exposure images he had seen.
