As I mentioned in a previous journal, I'm part of the Southwick Camera Club. They regularly hold competitions, both themed and open, for digitally projected images (DPI) and prints. Since we're nearing the end of this year's season, we're had some "Photos of the Year" competitions over the last couple of weeks.

Anyway, long story short, the two images I submitted to the DPI of the Year competition, 2011/2012 season both got into the top 20... then the top 10... then the top 4... The judge gave two other images joint 3rd place, leaving my building image as 2nd place and my Venice alleyway image as 1st! As you can imagine, I was very surprised by this, and slightly embarrassed to boot. Not only that, but I also managed to walk away with a bottle of wine courtesy of the weekly raffle. Definitely some good luck on me!

So here are the winning images:

1st place, All the Right Friends

2st place, I've Climbed So High

What this means is that next year I'll be moving out of the Intermediate group, and into the Advances group. All members of the Advanced group are armed with the usual Canons and Nikons, so it'll be interesting to see how the first Micro Four Thirds club member does in this esteemed conglomeration of photographers!

Congratulations also to my good friend ~jhbodle jhbodle.deviantart.com/ who won 1st place in the Print of the Year competition at the same club.
