2014 Autumn Salon Results

30 Friday May 2014

Posted by KCPS in Meeting Report, Reminder, Salon Results

≈ Comments Off on 2014 Autumn Salon Results

Our judge for the KCPS 2014 Autumn Salon last Monday was our very own President, Ian Linning.

We had an excellent attendance of around 40 members to hear Ian’s thorough and constructive appraisals of all the images. Thanks to Ian for doing this.

The 29 available Highly Commended and Honours images can be seen in the 2014 Autumn Salon Gallery which is now online.  It was good to see Rhonda Billington receive her first Highly Commended for her Novice Print “Castle Point Lighthouse” – not taken on our recent trip!

After the judging, we watched a 5 minute audiovisual of images from some of those who had been on the very successful field trip to Castlepoint the previous weekend, and viewed some further submissions for the Waikanae Estuary exhibition.  The deadline for this has now been extended to next Monday 9 June – see details here on the website . And don’t forget you have until Saturday (tomorrow) night 31 May to submit images for our club set for the Trenna Packer – details on this blog post.

Enjoy your holiday weekend, but don’t forget that Development Group will meet as usual for the first Monday of the month on 2 June. The advertised topic is “Low Light and Fill in Flash Photography”.

≈ 1 Comment

Our oldest member (and New Zealand’s oldest resident) Peg Griffin celebrated her 110th birthday today. Wow. Congratulations from everybody at the Kapiti Coast Photographic Society.

Check out today’s celebration (at Cookies in Paraparaumu Beach) in a TVNZ item from this evening’s news, and yesterday’s item from the Dominion Post.

Submit Nature Images for Trenna Packer by 31 May Please

20 Tuesday May 2014

Posted by KCPS in Competitions

≈ 1 Comment

The Trenna Packer Nature Competition, run by the Nature Photography Society of NZ (based in Christchurch) is coming up again very soon.

We need six images in total from KCPS.  No more than two images can come from an individual KCPS member.  The key points of the rules are:

  • The subject matter must be nature as defined by the definition in the rules, which excludes cultivated plants, domestic animals and confined animals
  • The subject matter is restricted to New Zealand and its offshore islands.
  • Each entry is judged as a ‘set’ not as individual images (so there is no point in having six fantastic images just of birds)
  • Digital images should be saved as jpeg, sRGB colour space, with a max of 1400 pixels on the horizontal side and 1050 on the vertical side for portrait and at a file size between 400Kb and 1Mb
  • Entries are due by 20 June 2043.

Carol Molineux has kindly agreed to coordinate our KCPS entry for this competition.  We’re asking members to submit up to six images each for consideration by a group which will be convened by Carol.

Please use this online form to submit your images (no more than six) by 31 May 2014. Remember that we need a diverse set of images to choose from.

We look forward to receiving and considering your submissions. By way of example of what we need to strive for, check out the gallery of previous winners.

Thanks.

Castle Point Field Trip

17 Saturday May 2014

Posted by KCPS in Reminder

There’s 15 of us on this weekend’s field trip. After sunset photos, then a congenial pot luck dinner in front of a roaring fire, many of us were up at 6 am to enjoy the early light at the lighthouse. Here’s Carol and Alison at the top viewpoint.

  • Registrations are now open for the PSNZ Central Regional Convention – this is being run by the Hutt Camera Club in a very handy location for us, Silverstream, from 7 to 9 November. Check out their website and register early for the best rates and choice of workshops.
  • Perfect Effects 8 Premium Edition from onONe Software is currently available free at this link if you want to grab it.
  • Want to see if your image will be popular?  On Flickr at least.  Check out http://popularity.csail.mit.edu. It’s fun to play with.  No guarantee of course that your image will do well, when judged for the Autumn Salon!
  • Finally, if you’re feeling really ambitious, consider how your images stack up against these 19 most expensive photos ever sold ….

Autumn Salon Online Entries Close 5 pm Monday

09 Friday May 2014

Posted by KCPS in Meeting Report, Reminder, Useful Links

≈ Comments Off on Autumn Salon Online Entries Close 5 pm Monday

A reminder that online entries will close at 5 pm sharp on Monday 12 May. This is so that they can all be compiled and handed in at the meeting starting at 7:30 pm that night.  Go to https://kcps.org.nz/salon-entry-form/ to submit your entry.

The meeting on Monday evening will be about recent PSNZ National Convention, held in Blenheim.  I’ll give a talk about how it all went, but also invite others from the club who attended to comment as well.

Last Development Group Meeting 5 May – Workflows

Hugh Scott did a great presentation to around 15 members all about general workflows for adding and processing new images from your camera, focussing on Capture NX2 (for Nikon).  I followed up with some details on the workflow for Lightroom 5.  For an overview, this video from Adobe might be helpful.  The “Digital Asset Management” book by Peter Krogh was also mentioned – here’s a link to his site which has various resources plus books for sale.

Last KCPS Meeting 28 April – Alison Viskovic FPSNZ and Waikanae Estuary

It was really interesting to hear from Alison all about her journey to create her set, and be successful in gaining an FPSNZ.

We also had a slide show of almost 100 images that have been submitted so far for consideration for our August Waikanae Estuary Exhibition at the Paraparaumu Library.  Further images will be most welcome, and can be submitted via https://kcps.org.nz/waikanae-estuary-exhibition/. The deadline is 26 May.

This was followed by a short talk from a guest, Mik Peryer, who literally wrote the book about the Estuary.  He related the love story of Thomas and Henrietta. Thanks, Mik.
