The 2011 competition was judged by Edith Smith, the Vice President of Edinburgh Photographic Society.

Edith presented the Budgie Cup to Bryce after the tea break. She continued the evening with a presentation of her own work. Her subjects covered Venice, Butterflies and insects, Birds and flowers. The presentation reinforced many of the hints and tips given earlier. It was also an inspiration to further encourage still photography. After the presentation general conversation reflected on the developing camera technology that is bringing the worlds of still and motion pictures closer together. Many of the newer still cameras produce excellent video. Also stills captured from high definition television cameras are now of good quality. This is in contrast with only a few years ago when results were always poor. Could we be seeing future entries into the Budgie Cup being taken with high television cameras?
