Redlands Camera Club Summer Competition July 1, 2019 As the new competitions chair I’ve been awaiting July 1st with some trepidation, but now we’re almost there. We’ve had 66 entries for this one, and I’m happy to say I’m glad I’m the chair and not a judge. There have been some wonderful submissions and it will be a challenge to pick the best. I really look forward to seeing them on the big screen. The transition has been challenging. Special thanks to Russ Trozera for sharing his wealth of experience in helping me get organized. We have a very sophisticated computer program for sorting, scoring, randomizing, and displaying the images, and that program was designed by member Bruce Bonnett. Bruce has been absolutely indispensable in getting the routine to work on my desktop. But of course the most special thanks go to the members who submitted entries. I wish you all could win ribbons. Winners will be announced at the July 15, 2019, meeting. Our next competition will be for Winter 2019 on December 2 with awards at our holiday banquet on the 16.
