Last Saturday I had the priviledge to be one of the judges for the Strawberry Festival photography contest. My fellow judge, Steve Cresswell and I spent 2 1/2 hours at the Senior Center critiquing 322 entries. If I remember correctly the categories included people, places and things, Buckhannon watershed, youth, flowers, wild West Virginia.
In each category there were awards for first through fourth place with several honorable mentions depending on the total entries in each category. All 322 images told a story or evoked emotion. The winners in each category demonstrated excellence in composition, creativity, technical quality, attention to theme and overall impact.
Congratulations to all participants. Our area has some very talented photographers and if you would like to see all the entries visit Bill Kelley Chevrolet during the Strawberry Festival. The photography exhibit opens May 12th at 5:30 pm. The Buckhannon Camera Club sponsors the exhibit.
