OK - Confession time: I've lived in Sheffield (the original UK version
) for pretty much all of my (REDACTED) years, and as a snapper I never even knew there was a Sheffield Photographic Society.
Then today I got a (presumably algorithm-driven) faceberk link to their annual exhibition, which is here: Sheffield PS Exhibition
Not sure why I was surprised by the quality, but a couple of things stood out for me, not being familiar with exhibitions/competitions, etc.
1) While the posts some of you guys put up are as good and better, I'm not sure any picture I've ever taken has been as good as any of these. There are some that aren't my particular bag (didn't care for the photo essays much) but I can't knock them otherwise. And I don't think I have the time/commitment/skill/talent to get to the general level on display. Not unhappy (much!) just saying!
2) How the (insert expletive of choice) do the judges decide between "commended" and "highly commended"? Anyone?! I mean, what's wrong with this Baby Starfish that keeps it out of the "highly" bracket?!!
Anyway, some nice pics, thought you might like to see them!
