This year the Runcorn Camera Club should be in a position to stage one of the best exhibitions of pictorial photography that they had ever had the pleasure to hang. They have had an exceptional entry in the open class from all parts of the globe, and of particular interest are those works from Middle and Far East, where today some really beautiful work is being done in the field of pictorial photography of exhibition standard.
A large entry means more work for the judges, but it gives to them a greater pleasure and an enhanced satisfaction in as much as their selection, to give an exhibition of high quality pictures, can be made to include only those works which measure up to a very high standard both in technical and pictorial quality.
An exhibitor whose work is included can feel that it is there only through its real merit in comparison with the best work being produced amongst exhibiting photographers today. This year, with certainty, an acceptance label of the Runcorn Camera Club means that in keen competition of truly international character the work has had to achieve qualities of a very high order indeed.
Mary Goes Round by Francis Wu
Many examples included in this exhibition are of conventional type of pictorialism – good landscapes good portraits and good figure studies, but there is also a very creditable number of works, which reflect more advanced ideas of pictorialism
Experimental themes and subjects, clever twist of design and pattern making within the photographic medium. This is thought provoking work.
Many examples accepted indicate in no certain manner the exceptionally beautiful print quality, which is attainable today. This exhibition will include many examples of sophisticated and clever work of very high order or artistic merit, which will amply repay very careful study.
The judges are N. Crawshaw, ARPS., W.T. Dawson, ARPS., J.H. Trace, ARPS, FRSA
Dr. Francis Wu, FRPS from Hong Kong, China have 4 prints in this exhibition.
- Peace On Earth
