Annual Natural History Competition, 6th January 2009

These winning images are taken (with the consent of the authors) from the ‘print’ and the ‘projected image’ competitions. They have been rescaled but are otherwise as far as possible unchanged. There were 25 print entries and 26 digital projected images. Titles are not disclosed during the judging.

Imaged marked ‘*commended’ were rated ‘highly commended’ by the judge. [As the standard of all of the projected images in the judge’s short list was notably good, these photographs have – as an exception from our usual practice - been included in the following set.]

Judge: Dr Peter Brandham

Please be aware that there are technical difficulties in the precise matching of image presentations across different computer platforms, between projected images on screen and equivalent prints, and then in these web-based versions. Most of these issues have been resolved, but there may be small differences between what you see here and what members saw 'live' on the evening of the competition.
