Selectors' Comments

The selectors thanked Douglas Hamilton and his team from Edinburgh Photographic Society for their monumental logistical exercise in coping with  3,000 prints received, from which about 200 were to be selected for display in the exhibition.  Commenting on the entries in the exhibition, they wrote:

"Each exhibition reflects current trends in photography.  It was interesting to note that the vast majority of the prints submitted had been digitally produced.  This has both a positive and a negative outcome.  On the positive side, it was wonderful to see such a wide range of beautifully produced images, many of which we suspect may not have been produced, even only five years ago.  The quality of the better composites was simply breathtaking.

By way of comparison, we found a dearth of traditionally printed monochrome work, but those that were submitted tended to be of a very high standard.  Rather surprisingly a large number of entries featured figures (and cats!) but high quality traditional landscape work was in relatively short supply, many of the landscapes submitted having been over-sharpened or over-saturated at the digital printing stage."
