The Bob - Round 3

Next week (19 Jan) it's round 3 of The Bob Forshaw Digital. You may submit up to 4 images, but if there is a very high number of entries the 4th pic will be dropped - so obviously don't label your best pic No.4!

Subject: any, colour or mono.

Images must be in a JPEG format with a maximum horizontal or vertical dimension of 768 pixels. The colour space for your images should be sRGB.

Please title your 4 images like this: 01 title_your name.jpg and then email them to: aperturewoolwich@googlemail.com

The deadline for submissions is 10pm Sunday night. That should allow us enough time to check all the pics and load them into the projection software.

If you have any queries contact Stu or Marshall.

Results of the FSLPS Inter-Club Digital Projected Image Competition - Group 2, held at Selsdon on 13 November 2009

Clubs competing: Cheam, Croydon, Orpington, Old Coulsdon, Selsdon, Woolwich.

1st place: APERTURE WOOLWICH with a 3 point lead over the 2nd placed club.

Four of our pics were held back for further consideration, three scored the top mark of 10 points and receive FSLPS certificates and the fourth scored a 9.5.

This is the first time six clubs have gone head-to-head in a DPI competition as part of the main FSLPS inter-club events, the standard of work was extremely high so this is an excellent result for us and means we now go forward to the semi-final at Croydon on 17 February 2010.

The full results can be found HERE.
