Carnoustie Flower Show Photography


Carnoustie Flower Show has been a great success this year. With more entries and competitors despight the terrible weather. The addition of extra categories into the photography section has paid off with more entries than ever before. So many that extra tables had to be put out on Thursday to give enough space. There were 6 categories and Gwen scooped a 1st and 2nd prize, particularly good as she only entered two. I had two 1st places and a 2nd place. However, my two favouite pictures didn't get a prize. Just goes to prove that everyone has a different taste. Or it could be that the very kind help received from Nick Morocco with the mounts was what swung it, my two faves were in black frames, so a big thanks to Nick. Our fruit and veg was poor this year and only the plumbs scraped a 3rd prize. The herbs did manage a 1st place although there were fewer competitors this year in this section.
