Photographic Competition

Club Photographic Competition 2017

The Robert Cleland Photographic Competition was held at the Hawes Inn on 27 April 2017. Some 60 entries were entered by Rotarians and families and these were displayed to all present. The renowned local professional photographer Alistair Pryde, proprietor of Words and Pictures, 48 High Street, South Queensferry,  judged the images and kindly donated a framed picture of the winning image. Alistair produced a short list of 10 images before the top three were announced.

"Yippee" by Jason Roseweir was awarded first place.

"Therapeutic Painting" by Jim McCulloch was awarded second place.

"An Old Campaigner" by Gerald Smith was awarded third place.

Alistair explained why he had selected the winning images and announced the topic for 2018 - "Light". Alistair displayed examples of images that embraced the topic of Light and gave many other examples how the topic could be interpreted.

Grainger Falconer, Convenor of the Rotary Club's International Committee, expressed grateful thanks to Alistair for his kind donation and for judging entries.

All monies raised on the evening from entry fees and a raffle will be donated to Nyumbani Orphanage in Nairobi.
