About-Us

The 2nd Monday of the month is our competition night.

  • Our Competition Program is available from our website.
  • There are 3 grades, Advanced, A and Open. Open Grade is usually for beginner photographers and for those members who just enjoy taking photographs without doing extensive editing.
  • We have photos presented both in print form as well as Digital (EDI) option. (EDI – Electronic Data Images)
  • Both Digital and Print contests require you to enter online on this website and include a digital copy of each entry. This will be displayed in an image gallery on the website
  •  All photographs are displayed and critiqued by the judge on the night. Most judges provide very beneficial feedback, from which we all learn
  • At the end of the year we run our “Photo of the Year”competition (POTY). The photos entered in this competition must be photographs that have been entered in competitions throughout the year.

The 4th Monday of the month is our tutorial night.

  • We have had many and varied tutorials and continue to do so every month.
  • Suggestions from members as to what tutorials they would like to have are very welcome.

The 1st Monday of the Month is Special Interests group night

  • Members choose their own interest subject to collect 4-10 images on.
  • This is not for competition but to allow members to explore their own photography journey.

PSA Interclub RD 2 Results Nature Travel Photojournalism

Mixed results for our club once again with PJ being the strongest position after Rd 2. There were some strange results in Travel as the judging gave a very high percentage of 9s across the board. In other words there was not the usual and expected range of scores indicating inexperienced Travel judges. Roy Killen from Lake Macquarie, Jen Fawkes from Waverley and myself sent messages to the Interclub director complaining about the judging anomalies but nothing will change.

Congratulations to Dianne awarded in Nature, Megan and Marie for their awards in PJ.

PSA Interclub

The second round for PSA Interclub entries closes on Sunday Feb 4th.

Please support your club and enter your new images in the appropriate sections. They do not have to have been entered in the club comps, so any new images you have for upcoming club comps are welcome. If they have been entered in PSA Interclub on our club website, they are ready to go for the club comps and you do not have to recreate the images.

Thanks for your help.

Results PSA Interclub Rd 1 Photojournalism

Who would have thought that our best result in Round one came in PJ, traditionally not our strongest genre. We sit in equal second place.

Congratulations to Susan, Marie and David on their well deserved awards.

That wraps up the results for the first round. The Round two comp buttons are now active on the website.

Some eagle eyed readers may notice that Marie’s image scored higher than David’s yet received an HM award and not a Merit award. In the judging process, the three judges complete their scores individually and the top total scores are then considered for the awards. It is then that the judges discuss the images and distribute the awards and that can mean that a lower scored image can be elevated to a higher award.

PSA Interclub 2023/24

We are now starting a new year with the PSA Interclub.

The competition buttons are now open under the Members Tab. I have decided to start with a clean slate this time and have deleted all previous entries by everybody so as of now there are no images in any of these files. The new competition entries close at midnight on Nov 1st.

The only images which cannot be reentered are those which have been previously entered. I have put a link below to the Master Spreadsheet which has all club images used since we started so you can easily see which of your images have been used.

PSA Interclub Master Record

PSA also requires a signed Release from every member who has an image entered in the competition. Releases are valid for three years and many of the ones I have on file are expiring so I will require a new Release Form from ALL members. There is a link below to a Word doc which can be printed and signed. You can then either scan or take a photo with your phone and send to me. ian@bbsol.com or 0411136571. I shall also bring a group form to the next few meetings which you can fill out on the night.

PSA Individual Release Doc

Remember you can upload up to three images in each of the five sections. In the last three rounds, PSA changed from Open and Creative to Open Colour and Open Mono. Any image which was enter in Creative before can now be entered in either. Those entered in Open before can now also be entered in Open Mono but not Open Colour.

Let’s aim for some higher finishes this year so looking forward to seeing your best images plus any new images recently created.
