History was made at the annual dinner of East Cork Camera Group held at the Midleton Park Hotel on Saturday night 23/11/13 when Adrian Newcombe was declared the winner of this year’s Photographer of the Year competition.

Prestigious in its own right, this was an extra special win for Adrian as he was the reigning title holder from 2012 and thus made these the first ever back-to-back wins in the history of the Group’s annual competition. High standards have always been a hallmark of Adrian’s work but his latest feat has really raised the bar in this competition. Well done Adrian!

Congratulations also of course to the other award winners on the night including Fidelma Read who received her Silver Medal which she won in the ‘Projected Image – Open – Intermediate’ category in the recent SACC competition in Horse and Jockey.
