The Kapiti Coast Photographic Society is holding its 2020 exhibition at the Roderick and Gillian Dean Community Art Space, Paraparaumu Library from 19-30 October. It will be open to the public during library hours.

Sixty four images are showcased in 6 sections: Nature, Landscape, Travel, People, Creative and Kapiti. Images will be for sale at the end of the exhibition.

The exhibition will be opened by Janet Bayley, Director Mahara Gallery, Waikanae.

The cost of printing and mounting has been partly met by a grant from the Kapiti Coast District Council Creative Communities Scheme, and partly from funds from the sale of the club’s annual Kapiti Coast calendar. The calendar will be on display at the exhibition and available to buy at local markets.

≈ Comments Off on Lighting Development Night

September’s development night was spent experimenting with the club’s studio lighting gear that was recently donated to us by Kim Duckworth.  A big thanks to David for imparting his lighting knowledge to the group, and also to Nicola who sat patiently throughout as the lighting model.

We have 3 professional lights, lighting stands, a softbox, umbrellas and reflectors. The intention is to make it available to be loaned out to KCPS members, and we could also use it in the future for some studio lighting projects at future meetings or workshops.

Winner Carol Molineux being presented the trophy by judge Alison Viskovic

The 2020 Frank Hinchcliff Award was judged by KCPS Past President Alison Viskovic. The competition is for prints only and commemorates a founder member of the Waikanae Camera Club that was a forebear of the Kapiti Coast Photographic Society.

You can read all about the life and times of Frank here.

The winner this year was Carol Molineux with her brilliant image of a Spoonbill entitled “Spunk”. Runner up for the second consecutive year was Greg Whitfield with “Flying Ahead”.

Alison provided some great feedback on the submitted images. A hardcopy of her comments can be found in the Salon Results page on this site. Note that this is password protected for members only.

The following gallery contains the winning image (a photo of the print), plus digital versions of the runner up and those prints awarded Highly Commended.
