Tuesday, 17th October 2017 was competition night at the ECCG meeting at The Midleton Park Hotel. This was the final internal competition of the year before the main Photographer of the Year competition at the end of November. The theme was ‘selfie’ and, as photographers are notoriously shy about going round to the other side of the lens, this was going to be a challenge. Some were very creative however, and dodged getting themselves in the photo at all!

The overall highest score went to Finbarr O’Shea for the clever image above from the fourteen entries. When the points were counted, this is how the scores were distributed:

Finbarr O’Shea took first place in Grade A with a comfortable margin of 43 points from Anthony O’Connor in second with Zane Llewellyn just 2 points adrift.

With just two entries in Grade B, Noelle Lowney also had a comfortable margin of 34 points over Eileen Upton in second.

In Grade C, Jim Curtin was first with Miriam Keogh and Sonja Eisenberg not too far behind in second and third respectively.

The overall placings were Finbarr O’Shea (428), Anthony O’Connor (385) and Jim Curtin (383),

Well done to all twenty-three entrants.
