NIPA Top Club 2017/18
Each year CPA members head off for a week long photographic trip, with past adventures taking us to Prague, Iceland, Andalusia and Lanzarote. Our trip to Gdansk last year had to be cancelled due to the pandemic, so rather than waiting until next spring, our usual time to head off, we decided that this year…
The 2021 NIPA Novice Competition was a digital event, as all NIPA competitions have been this season. Instead of the usual three sections for mono prints, colour prints and projected digital images, the competition ran with two sections – mono images and colour images. The images were judged online and the results presented via Zoom…
On Thursday 22 April we had the second of our annual print battles, though this year the more accurate term is image battle since the competition had to be held digitally over Zoom. CPA faced CB Camera Club with each club putting forward 20 colour and 20 mono images. Our thanks to CB for hosting…
On Tuesday 20 April 2021 we had our annual print battle with City of Belfast Photographic Society. Unfortunately last year the competition had to be cancelled as we entered lockdown; this year, whilst still unable to battle with actual prints, we decided to go ahead with a digital image version of the competition. Each club…
On Tuesday 13 April 2021 we had our two special competitions for images taken on practical nights and on outings throughout the year.

The 2020-21 season has been unique, with all meetings, events and competitions run completely online due to the lockdown restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. CPA Camera Club members rose to the occasion, as always, and I’m thrilled to report that we finished the NIPA Wex Interclub Competition in second place overall. In the Principal…

Matthew has judged for us before so it was great to welcome him back again. Matthew’s selection was as follows: MONO1. Michael Mulholland – My…
The second of Jim McKeever’s double-header judging session was our narrative competition where the members combine between four and six images in a Photo Essay. Jim was our guest speaker earlier in the season on how to capture narrative images and it obviously paid off as he felt that all the submissions fully met the…
Jim McKeever joined us once again for a judging double-header, judging two of our in-house competitions in one session. First off the bat was Irish Heritage. The brief calls for images taken in Ireland which are typical, traditional, and authentic. This can include buildings, antiquities, customs or skills at risk, old characters in natural surroundings,…
On 19 January 2021 we had Round 4 of the NIPA Interclub Competition. This was the usual themed round for the 2020-21 season and this year the theme was Emotion. Themed rounds are always interesting as they challenge photographers to shoot something a little different. The judge’s selection was as follows: MONO1. Robert Sergeant –…
