EACH month the Telegraph & Argus Camera Club runs a prize competition where members are set a theme and challenged to interpret it however they like.

The best photo – as chosen by our panel including T&A photographic manager Mike Simmonds, editor Nigel Burton and social media reporter Claire Earley – wins its author £50 and a giant canvas print courtesy of our friends at ProAm Imaging.

Throughout October the theme was Autumn and our club members did not disappoint – hundreds of images were posted to the Camera Club’s Facebook page and the overall standard of entries was outstanding.

As you’d expect, trees featured heavily but the variety of shots submitted impressed our judging panel.

There could be only one winner, though, and the prize went to Beverley Clough for her shot of Judy Woods.

Mike said: “It was incredibly difficult to pick an overall winner from such a strong field, but there was just something about Beverley’s picture that made it stand out.

“The colour, detail and framing are great, but it’s that winding flight of steps that really catch the eye here, heading up the hill and marking out a path that stands out from the fallen leaves. They invite the viewer to climb them and find out where they lead, it has a real sense of adventure about it and that lends it personality.”

Congratulations to Beverley, who wins £50 and a canvas print of her picture.

In the gallery on this page you can see the full 193-strong longlist of entries from which we chose our eventual winner.

Mike added: “Perhaps inevitably this month’s entries tended towards fallen leaves and the like, but as usual our members have taken the theme as a starting point and given it their own unique spin. We had some great entries.”

If you’re interested in joining the Camera Club, you can apply to join on the Facebook page at facebook.com/groups/tandacameraclub.

The group is for everyone from seasoned amateurs to budding new photographers, whether you’ve got all the latest kit or just an eye for taking a fantastic picture on your smartphone.

You don’t necessarily need to live in Bradford to join, but we prefer members to have some ties to the district.

It’s a community where you can get advice and swap tips with fellow enthusiasts, and take part in group meet-ups and even club outings – we have a trip to Bradford Cathedral coming up in December where there are sure to be some memorable shots to be captured.

We’d love to see your pictures capturing life in Bradford and anything eye-catching you might see while out and about in the district.

Send your snaps of everything from community events large or small, new angles on familiar places or even breaking news if you find yourself in the middle of the action.

There’s still time for members to take part in November’s themed contest, which is After Dark.

As usual, interpret the theme as you like, post your pictures in the Camera Club group, mark them with #afterdark and you could be in with the chance of winning £50 and a great big canvas print of your picture.
