| Meeting Report May 2009 |
| At our May meeting on 4th we staged our long awaited digital photo competition. The projection ran smoothly and marking was carried out. In comparison to slides our general opinion was that whilst, the picture on the “small screen” was very acceptable a certain amount of quality was lost in the projection, giving a bit of a flat appearance. However, we are confident enough to stage a competition again next year. The over-all winner was Ray Smith, who, with his picture of a pilot cutter in heavy weather, also won “best photograph”.

This showed ICE MUSIC departing from the Delaware River, transiting the Panama Canal and the loading of bananas from barges whilst at anchor. Pictures included ships seen during the voyage, transiting the canal locks and some pictures of Chilean warships. Thank you Paul for this interesting set of pictures. |
