This month is a very interesting month for our competitions as they are all focused on Australia. The definitions for each category are as follows:
Colour will be “This is Australia Colour”
Mono will be “This is Australia Mono”
Guidelines for Colour and Mono: The image can depict anything that says
“Australia” eg: events, people, food, places, buildings, culture and more, as
long as the image has a strong Australian theme. Some examples could include
indigenous people, iconic buildings, lamington or surf lifesavers.
Set Subject will be “Australian Landscapes”
Our judge is Helen Walker. Helen has judged for us previously and done a fantastic job. She has just sent me an email with an updated BIO and saying how much she’s looking forward to judging for us.
Helen’s Updated BIO:
Helen Walker GMPSA Judging Biography 2025.
Helen lives in NSW Australia. She is a recognised artist and an experienced national and international photography judge.
She is a passionate nature photographer with strong interests in monochrome and creative photography. Having travelled extensively, she believes the key to great photography is the ability to capture that decisive moment in wonderful distinctive light. Helen is well known for pushing the boundaries with her own photography, and enjoys the creative outlet that photography allows. When judging, she looks for the personal vision that each photographer brings to their work.
I hope everyone is having fun getting their “Australia” images together.
Please remember to have your prints on the stands by 6 pm to give Helen time to view them before we start at 6:30.
Ian Nunn had a phone call from Ross Burgess to advise that Ardis Emmerton passed away last Thursday. Ardis was a member of our club for many years and served on the committee for several years.
At this stage, tentative funeral arrangements are for Taree on Tuesday 15th April.
Reminder.
Our March Special Interest Night is this Monday 7th April. This night is primarily to give all our members the opportunity to undertake and exhibit their personal or group projects.
It also gives you the opportunity to come along and talk to club members on any topics to do with image taking, post processing, and printing . As our club has a world of expertise in these fields come and utilize the knowledge that is on offer
Monday 7th April is Special Interest Night and Ian English will be giving a short presentation on Composing for Drone Photography. “Seeing” through the Drone is very different to “seeing” through the camera lens.
The new kitchen is open so it will be interesting to experience the new menu as well. See you there for the 7:00 p.m. presentation or earlier for dinner.
The other special interest groups will be there as well if you want to ask questions.
