Autumn Salon Judging

30 Thursday May 2013

Posted by KCPS in Meeting Report, Salon Results

≈ Comments Off on Autumn Salon Judging

We had more than forty people last Monday night to see the Ohakune Field Trip AV, and then hear from Bruce Girdwood, the Autumn Salon judge.

Bruce has been judging for KCPS for many years, and it’s always a privilege to hear his comments on our images, as well as to see where he is going himself on his photographic journey. His judging was thorough, constructive and helpful. Fifteen images received either Honours or Highly Commended. It was especially pleasing that two of our newer members received their first honours: Chris McGinty (in his first salon entry) for his digital image “Bloom”, and Gill Mackersy for her print “Wheels for Hire”.

All fifteen Highly Commended and Honours images can be seen in the 2013 Autumn Salon Gallery which is now online.

Big Birthday, and Upcoming Events

25 Saturday May 2013

Posted by KCPS in Calendar, News, Reminder

≈ Comments Off on Big Birthday, and Upcoming Events

Happy Birthday Peg

A very happy birthday to our oldest member – Peg Griffin, who is now 109!

There was a very nice story on her in the Dominion Post.

Upcoming Events

Some changes have been made to the website to make it clearer what events are coming up.  If you look in the left-hand sidebar of http://kcps.org.nz you’ll see details for the next five events.  If you click on EVENTS in the top menu, you’ll see an embedded calendar with the current month (which is very configruable to show other months, etc.) as well as a full list of upcoming events beneath it.

These events change from time to time, so it’s worth keeping an eye out for any changes.  You can also subscribe to the calendar of upcoming events using the instructions that were posted when it was originally set up. Then your own calendar system will always be up to date.

Speaking of upcoming events ….

Meeting Monday 27 May

The next event is, of course, the meeting on Monday 27 May when our regular judge Bruce Girdwood will be judging our Autumn Salon. We’ll also be showing a short AV with photos provided by many of those who went on the field trip to Ohakune last weekend. We had a blast, and made some great images, as you will see.

No Development Group Meeting 3 June

Because it is Queen’s Birthday, there won’t be a Development Group meeting. So you’ll have more time to get organised to bring along prints and images for the following week …

Competition Selection Night – Monday 10 June

Our main task will be to select ten prints for the Wellington Interclub Print Battle. Our club will be hosting it at the Otaihanga Boating Club on Monday 5 August (in lieu of a Development Group meeting), so it’s important we do well! The ten topics are:

  1. Beams
  2. Contained
  3. Eggs
  4. Eye
  5. Feathered
  6. Movement
  7. Mysterious
  8. Skin
  9. Reaching
  10. Terraced

You’ll need to bring along prints that could be suitable.  They need not be matted at this stage, but should be large enough to have a good look at (at least around A4 – not 4 by 6).  We’ll use the whole club to review and select the best print for each topic in turn.

On that night we’d also like to review digital images and prints and digital images that could be entered as part of two club sets for the Bowron and Chance interclub landscape competitions. We need four images for each set.  Again, prints need not have been matted just yet.  It’s proposed that we try to build sets around a “Kapiti Coast” theme so that each Kapiti Island does appear in each image, so you still have time to make some on that theme if you haven’t already.

16 of us are spending the weekend in Ohakune. Here’s a group up the mountain overlooking and photographing a beautiful waterfall.

Natex Last Steps – Autumn Salon Entries Due for Monday Meeting

09 Thursday May 2013

Posted by KCPS in Calendar, Exhibitions, Reminder

≈ Comments Off on Natex Last Steps – Autumn Salon Entries Due for Monday Meeting

Karyn Packing Natex

Karyn Packing Natex packages

Our Natex project is almost all over, although there’s a lot of tidying up of finances and reporting now.

Support from many KCPS members for Natex through its many phases has been fantastic. We had another long day yesterday at the Te Horo Hall to repack all the prints into 109 boxes and packages, for dispatch back to the entrants. Thanks to Hugh, Karyn, Jo, Gary, Alan, Peter Ellis, and Jenny for helping out on this phase, as well as all those who helped mount the exhibition last Wednesday and then dismount it on Sunday.

Monday Meeting

Ou regular meeting at 7:30 pm at OBC next Monday 13 May will cover what happened at the PSNZ Convention last week. For a bit of a preview, you can see my seven “running commentary” blog entries at blog.photography.org.nz. Don’t forget that entries for the Autumn Salon are also due – go to this link on our website. The judge for this Salon is Bruce Girdwood.
