Rotary Young Photographer

The Rotary Young Photographer of the year is competed for at club, district and then national levels. It is divided into 3 age groups. Rotarian Dewi became aware of the competition and organised with Ysgol Pendref for him and Rotarian Tim to go along and meet a group of interested children to talk about taking photographs, composition etc.

Using iPads and a couple of cameras belonging to Tim and Dewi we went out, first in the school grounds and then round town taking photographs. The children then selected Sets of three to enter into the competition for a portfolio of three. The portfolios were then judged by Tony Griffiths, who remarked how good the standards were. Kaylee’s winning portfolio has been printed up to A4 and entered for the district competition.  The entries are now on display in Denbigh library.

Cystadlir am Ffotograffydd Ifanc Rotary y flwyddyn ar lefelau clwb, ardal ac yna cenedlaethol. Fe'i rhennir yn 3 grŵp oedran. Daeth Rotarian Dewi yn ymwybodol o'r gystadleuaeth a threfnodd gydag Ysgol Pendref iddo ef a Rotarian Tim fynd draw i gwrdd â grŵp o blant gyda diddordeb mewn ffotograffiaeth i siarad am dynnu lluniau, cyfansoddi ac ati.

Gan ddefnyddio iPads a chwpl o gamerâu yn perthyn i Tim a Dewi aethom allan, yn gyntaf ar dir yr ysgol ac yna o amgylch y dref yn tynnu lluniau. Yna dewisodd y plant Setiau o dri i gymryd rhan yn y gystadleuaeth am bortffolio o dri. Yna beirniadwyd y portffolios gan Tony Griffiths, a nododd pa mor dda oedd y safonau. Mae portffolio buddugol Kaylee wedi cael ei argraffu hyd at A4 a'i roi i mewn ar gyfer y gystadleuaeth ardal. Mae'r cofnodion bellach yn cael eu harddangos yn llyfrgell Dinbych.
