Reserve used in case of a tie break: Man on Helvellyn – Matt Aspden

In the case of a large entry, the L&CPU have reserved the right not to use all of the images. They may, for example, choose to use only 5 or only 6 of the images from each club. The tie break slide will remain as chosen.

Results Men vs Women

Well, ladies, we beat them again! Norman Piper was the judge for the winter leg of the men vs Women. Now this is getting to be jus a little bit embarrassing…four matches and four wins for the women! Forgive us for being just a little smug you guys but you do outnumber us by about 30 to 6…so no excuses!!!!  The final scores for 20 prints each side were:

Women: 340 marks.
Men: 320 marks.

Below are the images that scored 20:

Preparing files and uploading to DSCL

For those of you who still haven’t tried uploading images to DS Colour labs, here are the video tutorials. As promised some time ago (sorry for the delay!!!), I’ve remade the DSCL video in two shorter sequences, so that they are small enough to upload to YouTube. Print prices are still £1.05 per 16×12print, which makes colour prints for competition cheaper than they have been in the last two decades, in real terms.

You can watch the videos in High Definition by clicking the HD button and don’t forget to click the screen icon at bottom right of the video frame, next to the HD button, to show the video in full screen mode.

Any questions, please post them in the comments box below.

Thanks
