Chard Camera Club v Wellington Camera Club Photo Battle.

Chard Camera Club gave Wellington Camera Club a run for their money during a recent photo battle. Despite Wellington's substantial advantage in numbers—boasting over double the membership of Chard—the spirited competition saw Chard Camera Club narrowly beaten by just 7 points.

The print section of the contest was particularly noteworthy. Against all odds, Chard Camera Club emerged victorious in this category, with two of their prints achieving the maximum possible points. In the Digitally Project Image(DPI) section a Chard image gained 1st place, This triumph not only highlighted the exceptional talent within Chard's ranks but also proved that quality can outshine quantity.

The final score—Chard narrowly missing out by just 7 points—was a testament to the club's talent, determination, and tenacity. Wellington Camera Club may have taken the overall win, but Chard's remarkable performance in the prints section and their strong showing across all categories earned them widespread admiration.
