MORGAN O’NEIL WINS 2009 PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR

David Lavery — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 10:30:12 +0000

The 2009 photographer of the year took place for Mallow Camera Club recently. There were 230 entries from over twenty members of the club. The competition was based on the top five scoring images from each member.

This year the competition was judged by three members from Cork Camera Group, Moira O’Brien , Michael O’Sullivan, & Danny Foley. The competition was open to three different forms of media, Colour Print, Mono Print, & Digital Projection. Awards were for Overall Photographer of the year, Novice Photographer of the Year & Mono Photographer of the year. Members were allowed to enter up to 15 images of any media but only their five highest scoring images were counted for the final tally for the overall photographer of the year. The mono photographer of the year was based on the three highest scoring black and white prints.

The night proved to be very entertaining for all as the interval counts during the competition were indicating a very tight contest. Morgan O’Neil was the eventual winner for the overall. This capped a great season season for Morgan who had numerous prizes and accreditation’s through out the year. A very modest Morgan received great applause from all members, he thanked all for there support.

The novice photographer of the year proved to be an even closer competition with only 4 points separating the top three. There was great applause when Denis O Leary was announced the winner. The novice photographer of the year is only open to members who have not received a gold medal in a regional/national competition and to an individual who has not received a distinction. The standard of the novice photographer is of a very high standard.

The mono section was won on a very tight margin by John Hooton. John who is one of the most successful club photographers in Ireland won the competition by a single point from Morgan O’Neil. John said he was delighted with the competition and his success on retaining the trophy.

Club Chairman Paddy Fennessy, thanked the judges and complimented them on their consistent scoring throughout the night. Sean Murphy, Competition Secretary thanked all for their help in organising the event.

When the final count was done the results were as follows :

Photographer of the year

Morgan o’neill 134 PTS

Sean Murphy 125 PTS

NOVICE PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR
