TENBY AND DISTRICT CAMERA CLUB
The last mini-competition of the winter programme took place on Thursday 25th April at the club meeting in the Community Hall, St Florence.
The theme of the competition was ‘Transport’ and thirty nine images were shown and judged by the members. In third place was ‘Waiting for MOT’ by Neil Thomas and in joint first place was ‘Man and Machine’ by Dave Bolton together with ‘Giants of Steam’ by Roy Packer, once again a very high standard of photography with images of ships, boats and planes, cars bikes and even prams.
Following the coffee break the members were then shown a short video of Ty-Hafod the Hospice for Children. Members were asked to subscribe this week to a fund raising appeal.
The evening concluded with Chairman Roy Packer showing members images of his travels to Norway in 2012, to primarily shoot images of the White Tailed Sea Eagles. His adventure started with a flight from Cardiff to Amsterdam changing planes at the infamous Schipol Airport, from there flying to Trondiem Airport, Norway and then a 190km road trip to the village of Lauvsnes in the district of Flatanger. Roy explained to the audience that only one shop, a mini supermarket was open for business. Roy’s images of the White Tailed Sea Eagle catching fish let members in awe of the magnificence of this bird, which is the 4th largest eagle in the world. Roy and his party had the exclusive use of a purpose built bird hide which enabled him to photograph Bull Finches, Eurasian Jays, Red Squirrels and Goshawks. Roy concluded his talk with a short sequence of images of the buildings and the majestic landscapes around the Fjords of Nord-Trondelag.
