The Army Photographic Competition 2018 is now open and it promises to be better than ever before with another new public category Operation Smart Phone, giving keen videographers, whether civilian, Navy or RAF, a chance to use their phone and submit a video with a British Army theme.
Are you an civilian photographer with a love of all things Army? Operation Camera will give your army-themed photographs a chance to shine. It was so successful last year, we have decided to run it again. Cadet Life, also returns for a second year. Check online for eligibility, terms and conditions.
The traditional categories are open to all Regular Army and Army Reserve personnel and cadets of the Combined Cadet Force (CCF), Army Cadet Force (ACF), University Officer Training Corps (Army) and Ministry of Defence civilians who work directly for the Army. Check online for categories and eligibility.
As soldiers first, Army photographers deploy into fields of operation with units to capture life on front lines and training areas around the world. They are the eyes of the Army and capture an unrivalled view of Army life right at the heart of the action.
Command Master Photographer WO1 (Cdr) Will Craig says: “I am genuinely excited for this year’s Army Photographic Competition. The new category Operation Smart Phone smashes the competition wide open enabling anyone including the public to enter the video category for the very first time.
“The quality of video that the modern phone can produce is excellent. There are lots of great prizes this year and you have to be in it to win it.”
The ever-popular online category as voted by the public is now hosted on the website at www.army.mod.uk/photocomp.
Judges will be looking for high quality photographs and videos, which can be used to promote the Army across traditional and social media channels.

Obituary for Rose Snape
Rose Snape
Rose Snape died in March 2018 at the age of 87. Rose was made an Honorary Member of Salisbury Camera Club in 2014 in recognition of her lifetime’s love of photography and her long and loyal service to the Club. She retired as a member of the Committee in 2011. Her final responsibilities included recording and cataloguing entries for internal club competitions and for organising refreshments on club evenings.
As far as we can tell, Rose first joined Salisbury Camera Club in 1953, making her membership one of at least 65 years: a remarkable achievement. Her photographic work began in the field of darkroom black and white, moving into colour slides as time passed. Although Rose did not move into the digital age as a photographer, she continued to play her part in the life of the club, enjoying the variety of work produced by younger members and the contributions made by speakers. It is fair to say that she preferred a relatively traditional approach to photography and was not too enamoured of large amounts of digital manipulation. Several of her images are to be found in the archive section of the Club website and she was a winner of competitions, such as the Sloane Stanley Cup and The Club Trophy in 1983.
The earliest reference we can find to her being a member of the Salisbury Camera Club Committee is 1964, when Rose became Programme Secretary. It was the first of a variety of roles she undertook on behalf of the Club over the next 57 years. Rose was one of those modest, but vital members of any community organisation. She worked quietly behind the scenes undertaking important tasks without expecting loud thanks or reward.
Rose was added to the Southern Photographic Federation “Roll of Honour” in 2010, following a recommendation by Salisbury Camera Club, for her long service to both photography and to the Club.

SHASTON CHALLENGE VICTORY FOR SAL CC
Last night 22nd March 4 members of the Club ventured along to Shaftesbury to witness a wonderful and unexpected win over the other three teams. They were Ferndown, Frome Selwood and Shaftesbury CC.
There were 48 projected images - 12 from each club.
The judge was Rob Barron from Poole CC who did an excellent job except for one image where he gave it his lowest score of 7.5. I know it was an aberration because I have scored 10 in the past!
The amazing part of the evening was that after 24 images we had a break. At this point we were in last place with 52 points. Other scores were 53, 53.5 and 55.5. We did not stand a chance.
BUT when the second 24 were judged and the totals for each club displayed we were astonished to see that we had won by a whole half point.
The final totals were 104.5 Frome & Selwood, 105.5 Ferndown, 105.5 for Shaftesbury and 106 for us!
Moreover we only had one 10 for Jane Osborne's The Escape. So CONGRATULATIONS JANE. There were 7 tens in all.
Note ALL the 10's had animal life inc Jane's pic.
