2012 Autumn Salon Results

30 Wednesday May 2012

Posted by KCPS in Gallery, Meeting Report, Salon Results

≈ Comments Off on 2012 Autumn Salon Results

“On the Ridge” – Highly Commended, Intermediate Digital Image – ©Carol Molineux

Many thanks to Tony Whincup for his judging of our Autumn Salon last Monday.  Around thirty members heard his insightful and constructive comments on our images.  He stressed the importance of how images should communicate.

Carol’s image “On the Ridge” was accidentally left out of the judging on the night, but was later reviewed by Tony and given a Highly Commended rating. It was pleasing to see many entries from our newer members, and to have them well received by the judge

The gallery of the 19 images that received either honours or highly commended is now available. (See also the GALLERIES menu item at the top of the page, to access all the salon galleries for 2010, 2011 and 2012, as well as earlier images).

Tony made the very good point in his own presentation that, since photography is about communication, then one of the best ways of making sure your communication is heard is to exhibit. He related his own experiences of exhibiting his “Playgrounds” series at the Ballarat International Foto Bienale in 2011, and how this triggered a series of further opportunities for his photographic art to be more widely appreciated.

All in all it was a very interesting and rewarding meeting, thoroughly enjoyed by those who were able to be there.

KCPS Autumn Salon Judging Monday

27 Sunday May 2012

Posted by KCPS in Meeting Report, Reminder

≈ Comments Off on KCPS Autumn Salon Judging Monday

Come along Monday evening 28 May – 7:30 pm at the Otaihanga Boating Club – to see and hear Tony Whincup judge our Autumn Salon images.

Some of Tony’s own work can be seen on his site here.

Report on PSNZ National Convention 2012

It was a wild and very rainy night for our last meeting on 14 May, which kept attendance down. The report on the Invercargill convention was well received by those present, with lots of discussion about some of the more contentious issues such as Chimping, judging of images, and Tom Ang’s views on using JPEG rather than RAW images.

The presentation has now been posted on the RESOURCES page for those interested, and includes lots of links. Do plan on attending the 2013 PSNZ convention which will be in Wellington from 1-5 May 2013 – check it out now at http://positivelyphotography.org.nz/.

No Development Group Meeting Next Week

Because Monday 4 June falls on Queen’s Birthday weekend, there won’t be the usual “first Monday of the month” Development Group meeting.

Happy 108th Birthday Peg

26 Saturday May 2012

Posted by KCPS in News

≈ Comments Off on Happy 108th Birthday Peg

Congratulations to Peg Griffin, who turned 108 this week.

We’re proud to have Peg as an honorary Life member of KCPS, and she is very likely the oldest member of any NZ camera club or photographic society.

The photo shown here, which includes her daughter Meg (another KCPS member), is from an article in today’s Dominon Post.

Tonight – Report on PSNZ National Convention

14 Monday May 2012

Posted by KCPS in Reminder

≈ Comments Off on Tonight – Report on PSNZ National Convention

Shona

Brave the weather and come along this evening to hear all about the convention that took place a few weeks ago in Invercargill.  Candid photos of some of the goings on are available online, including our new PSNZ President, Shona, weighed down by the burdens of office.

As we’ll hear, there’s lots to learn and do at these conventions – start thinking now about attending next year’s one – Positively Photography Wellington.

Ever been faced with a photographic opportunity and wondered what lens you should use? Telephoto? Super wide? (The images below are for the same scene at 17 mm and 300 mm.)

Our KCPS Development Group meeting on Monday night 7 May at 7:30 pm will cover the use and characteristics of various focal lengths. Come along, and learn, and share your experiences.
