Our new Projected Image competition now allows three images – here is the new entry form: PI Entry form

The March projected image of the month was “Off to Market” by Graham Tibbits. 

This was taken on Graham and Lorraine’s last trip to Vietnam with Spotlight on Asia tours.

February’s POTM is from Suzanne Richards.

Suzanne was walking by a river when she noticed a large 6cm bubble floating down stream. She asked her husband to wave to give the photo interest and they are also reflected in all the bubbles in the image, especially the one in the top left.

This month’s Photo of the Month was Tom Daley’s “Out on a Limb”  Tom used his Pentax DL00 macro lens on f11 out in his backyard to get this shot.

Congratulations to Geraldine Lefoe for her image Metallic World which was selected by our guest judge Mark Kelly for PI of the month. Martin’s insightful commentary on the night was well received by the group. You can see Mark’s website at http://mkimages.com.au/ – check out his superb mono landscapes and infrared.

Gerry shot this image at the railway station in Auckland, New Zealand. She was using a tripod and just managed to get this shot in as a security guard asked her to leave – no tripods allowed inside but handheld fine. She used her Nikon D70s with settings of 0.005 sec (1/500) on aperture f/11. Well done Gerry!

It’s good to see some entries from our newer members!

The August POTM was “Old Timer Windang Island” taken by Graham Hamilton at our breakfast outing. Graham used a Nikon D70 with the Nikon 18 -70 at 18mm, f9 @1/40 sec, tripod, neutral density filter, with some level and saturation adjustment in Lightroom. And he didn’t get his feet wet.

The pointscore competition results were announced at our Annual Dinner and trophies were presented by Allan Hitchell, President of the Federation of Camera Clubs. Congratulations to all the winners.

Our first Projected images competition was launched on July 2nd with 49 entries. The judge was Chris Senior from Tomerong who provided a detailed critique of the images ensuring that we all learned a great deal from the night. Congratulations to a new member, Steve Selby, who won the Bi-Monthly Projected Image Award with Arc de Triomphe. A combination of nine shots taken at Killalea Reserve, these were the first images Steve had taken when his new camera was just out of the box. We look forward to some strong interest in this new competition.

The club has developed new entry forms for both the print and projected image competitions.

The Adobe Acrobat forms can be downloaded and filled in on screen before printing – making the job of the Competition Steward a bit easier. You can also save the form to keep a record of your entries.

You will need Acrobat Reader 7.0 or later – go to http://www.adobe.com to download the latest reader.

The club will also have a small supply of forms available on competition nights for those members who put all their effort into their prints, run out of time to type their entry and have to hope the Competition Steward can read their handwriting.
