BSoUP's Open Portfolio Competition 1988
Winner
- Mike Wong
by
Brian Pitkin
The
last meeting of 1988 took place on Thursday, 15th December
in the Senior Common Room, Sherfield Building, Imperial College.
The
evening started with the annual Open Portfolio Competition.
All members had been urged to submit a portfolio of six slides
taken anywhere in the world, but excluding images taken in
a tank or aquarium and any that had previously won a place
in a major competition.
A
total of only 12 portfolios (each of 6 slides) were entered
in the competition. Each portfolio was projected twice and
the audience present invited to vote for their favourite three
portfolios.
The
winner with 66 points was MIKE WONG with a double composition
of a big-eye in a cave, a double composition of an octopus
with the run just bursting through the sea surface, a hormothid
anemone, a squirrel fish, a double composition of a hermit
crab in a wreck and a batfish with a diver silhouette in the
background. A cheque for E50 was awarded to Mike, who admitted
that he personally didn't like double compositions but felt
he had to try them in order to win competitions. |
