The Competition
This is a local photographic competition with around a dozen clubs participating. You can read about last year’s competition on Deeside Camera Club’s website.
This year’s judge will be Malcolm McBeath from Kirriemuir. I would recommend browsing some of Malcolm’s wonderful photographs.
