Two Hemispheres Digital Image Challenge 2010

Leighton Buzzard Photographic Club (Bedfordshire, England)
and
Camberwell Camera Club (Melbourne, Australia)

The age of electronic communication has enabled LBPC and CCC to run a friendly Digital Images battle. The objective is to share our common interest in photography and to take the opportunity to see images from a different part of the world than our norm. It will also be interesting to compare judging approaches in our two worlds.

There will be no prizes, just the enjoyment of sharing.
