Sorry for the lack of posting as the season wound down, but things were pretty hectic right through the banquet and then it was off for a few days of relaxation over the Memorial Day weekend. We’re back on track now so you’ll be seeing all of the results over the next week or so.

Today, we have the winners of the season long competitions in Digital, Prints, and Slides. It takes quite a commitment to come up with images worthy of being entered in competition month in and month out so, when you run into one of these members, please congratulate them on a job well done.

The Spring competition, hosted by the Stony Brook Camera Club, was held on Tuesday, April 6, 2010 at the Wrentham Senior Center, Wrentham, MA.

Thirty-six clubs participated in the Pictorial section (14 from Class A and 22 from Class B) and thirty-two clubs participated in the Nature section (12 from Class A and 20 from Class B).

Charter Oak finished 6th overall in Pictorial and 5th overall in Nature for the Spring competition.  For the year, Charter Oak finished 4th overall in Pictorial and 5th  overall in Nature.

Individual awards from the Spring competition went to Cindy Gosselin – Blue ribbon for her image Predator and Prey and to Bob Cameron – HM for his image Potter’s Hands. Congratulations to Cindy and Bob!

Initial results from the Glennie Interclub competition were received and Charter Oak tied for 23rd place.   We are to congratulate ourselves on this impressive accomplishment, given that 106 clubs from as far away as Australia, Brazil, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom participated.  Out of the nine clubs from Connecticut that entered, only one placed higher than Charter Oak (New Haven Camera Club tied for 6th place).

C. Gosselin received a Merit Award in the Mammals – Carnivores & Omnivores category with the image “Predator and Prey.”  The image scored 26 points.  Winning images should be posted soon onto the Glennie site.  Look at results and check for uploaded images at:
