Ron Wake Memorial Trophy heads to Watford

The final of the Ron Wake Memorial Trophy opened Harrow Camera Club’s season on Tuesday evening (3rd September). The winning image was “This is Me”, as six shot composite by Charlotte Dwyer of Watford CC.

Before turning his attention to the final, judge Kevin Day gave a fascinating talk on a documentary shoot he had undertaken, following a group of aid workers helping refugees in Greece.

Kevin’s judging was, as ever, entertaining and perceptive. Although EHHPS’s Shaun Hodge won last year’s competition, this time EHHPS had only a single image, Amanda Wright’s I Like this Blue which made it through to the final twenty. I found myself wondering if Kevin had judged the selection round, whether perhaps we may have seen more of our work in the final.
