On Thursday 21st April, the Rotary Club of South
Queensferry's Annual Photographic Competition took place at the Hawes Inn.
After a splendid meal, members, partners and guests enjoyed viewing 120 pictures
submitted by some twenty Rotarians and their family members. As always the
standard was high and entries ranged from highly atmospheric landscapes to
quirky subjects often showing much humour. This year the competition was judged
by Alistair Pryde of Words in Pictures in Queensferry. He summed up the winners
as great examples of what can be accomplished
using talent and imagination and technical ability. First prize, the
Robert Cleland MBE Memorial Quaich, went to Martin Prentice who had achieved the
shot of a lifetime with a magnificently moody night view of lightning behind
the Forth Rail Bridge. He received a beautifully framed print of his picture
courtesy of Words in Pictures. Martin also scooped the second prize of a bottle
of whisky. Third prize of a hand-crafted pen went to Rotarian Graham Clarkson.
In her closing remarks, President Kate
Gibb thanked everyone who had made such a delightful evening possible: those
who had submitted pictures, Alistair for Judging and Rotarian Grainger Falconer
for organising the competition and preparing all the entries for exhibition.
