Video compiled by Des O'Dwyer representing a selection of members images contributed to this year's 52/52 Photo Challenge.
This year's 52/52 photo challenge was contested by over 20 members with 10 making it successfully to the finish line. The challenge asked participants to post one photo each week for an entire year. One would think this a simple enough task, but those taking part confessed to the struggle involved in such a commitment. The fact that over half those that started the challenge (many serious photographers from the Advanced Group!!) failed to complete it, proves the point. Congratulations to the finalists; Donal Hackett, Mick Nolan, Martina Morris, Hugh Rooney, Margaret Dolan, Matthew Gammon, Catherine Mullarkey, Noreen McNamara, Derek Fetherstone and Andy Rimmer.
This year, the challenge was judged by Joe Kennedy, Tony Murphy and Jason Mallard. Judging was based on consistency in quality and content. Sets did not have to be thematic but some members did adopt a thematic approach which added to the challenge. After much deliberation, Donal Hackett was announced winner and Mick Nolan, a well deserved runner-up. Congratulations to you both!
The full contribution to the 52/52 challenge this year was 752 photos from 25 members. You can see the full set HERE.
