While 2020 was, by any stretch of the imagination a strange year, it did not stop members of Mallow Camera Club capturing some magical memories through the camera lens.
That was very much evident through the high standard of entries to the club's Image of the Year competition, the results of which were recently announced by the organising committee over Zoom.
The competition attracted 33 entries, with each entrant submitting one colour and one mono image across four grades, which were judged online by a trio of expert judges.
They were Helen Hanafin, a member of Dublin Camera Club and an Irish Photographic Federation (IPF) approved judge; multi-award winning Cork-based fine art photographer and educator Mike Brown and author/photographer David Gibbins of the Beeston Camera Club in Nottinghamshire.
