Our judge for the KCPS 2014 Summer Salon last night was Peter Beddek APSNZ, a very experienced club member and Past President, who very kindly rolled up to take on judging for this salon just two weeks ago.

There was a good attendance to hear Peter’s considered views on the images.

All 26 Highly Commended and Honours images can be seen in the 2014 Summer Salon Gallery which is now online.  

It was very pleasing to see brand new members Rachel Stevens, Roger Smith and Martin Manning gain Honours or Highly Commended ratings for their images below. Congratulations to them.

The time has come to start submitting the wonderful images that members have been taking at the Estuary.

Full details about the Waikanae Estuary Exhibition project are on our website here.

Images can be submitted for consideration until 26 May 2014. Either submit digital images (one at a time) online at this link, or bring along prints (minimum A4 sized) to a KCPS meeting and give them to Carol Molineux.

Images submitted online need to be in full resolution so that we can evaluate how well they will print.

At the beginning of each KCPS meeting the images that have been submitted in the previous fortnight will be viewed so we can all see the images being produced. The final date for submissions will be Monday 26 May.

Selection of the images for the exhibition will be done at the end of May.  The images selected will then all be printed and matted consistently, and form a documentary style Exhibition at the Paraparaumu Library from 17 to 29 August.

Salon Season is about to get underway for 2014.

Entries are due now for the KCPS Summer Salon.  Just click on SALON ENTRY in the top menu of kcps.org.nz or go straight to kcps.org.nz/salon-entry-form/. You’ll find a link there to the online submission system.  You can enter up to two digital entries and up to two prints.  Full details are provided with the online form.

Please get your entries in online as soon as possible. Online entries close at 5 PM on Monday. That’s because I need to compile a list of all the entries and provide them at the Monday evening meeting to Karyn.  You also need to bring along any prints to give to Karyn at the meeting; bring them in a large envelope, and include a printout of the email you received acknowledging your entry.

Members Exhibition

The main topic for Monday’s meeting is a Members Exhibition.  Shona Jaray and Chris McGinty will each show a selection of their images and talk about their passion for photography.

PSNZ Membership

If you aren’t already a member of PSNZ, Monday will also be a great time to join. (KCPS members have already been emailed about this.)

Shona Jaray (President PSNZ) will be accepting PSNZ Membership applications at the meeting.

NZ CAMERA THUMBNAIL[2]Those who join PSNZ at the meeting on Monday will immediately receive a copy of New Zealand Camera 2014. This is a fantastic publication, high quality, with great images, four of which are from KCPS members (Alison Viskovic, Michael Martin, Shona Jaray and Neil Gordon). One of the benefits of PSNZ membership is that you’ll be eligible later this year to submit images to be considered for New Zealand Camera 2015. Joining PSNZ will bring many other benefits to you, as well as KCPS.
