Photosports

I understand that we came 4th in the 2014 Wellington Regional Interclub competition (also know this year as Photosports) on Friday night, out of the six Wellington Camera Clubs. We came first overall in the prints section, but didn’t fare so well in the digital.

Development Group Monday

The Development Group at 7:30 pm on 1 September will be a “Question and Answer” session. Bring along your questions about your camera, or anything to do with photography, and we will discuss and try to help.

Ian Welcoming Everyone

By all accounts the formal opening of the Exhibition was a great success on Monday, with more than 45 people there to see KCDC Mayor Ross Church do the honours.

Everyone was extremely impressed with the range and the quality of the work. The Mayor was very excited about the professionalism and range of the images – he even purchased one of Gavin Klee’s images.  Charles Fleming’s daughter Mary McEwen was also present, and purchased one of Peter Beddek’s prints. The food and wine kindly provided by KCPS members was fantastic.

Meeting Report – 11 August 2014

12 Tuesday Aug 2014

Posted by KCPS in Meeting Report

≈ Comments Off on Meeting Report – 11 August 2014

The weather was almost enough to keep me home last night, but I was glad that I did venture out in the torrential rain and gale to go to our KCPS meeting. Around twenty of us enjoyed three interesting presentations:

Focus on Fun

Paul Witham from the Hutt Camera Club told us all about the Central Region Convention which they will host at Silverstream from 7-9 November.  See the full details on their website. It does indeed sound like lots of fun, with great speakers and workshops and field trips.  Register soon to get the early bird rate and make sure you have your pick of the workshops. I have.

Hal Gimperson

It was fascinating to see the range of photographic prints from Hal, who is a new KCPS member, having joined in April.  Some examples are shown below – a textural detail from a railway engine at Paekakariki; a solarized monochrome print; and one of a number of beautiful matt prints where Hal took a narrow vertical slice of a colourful sunset over the Kapiti Coast, and then expanded it horizontally to a panoramic format.

 Ian Linning

Our President also gave a very interesting presentation on his photography – covering three themes. First were some examples of street photography from when he lived in Singapore; second was sharing some examples and experiences of his commercial photography business Primofoto; and third was a short video of a trip to Italy where the images were all taken on a very travel-friendly Canon G10, and “Ken Burns” panning was used to good effect. Some imagery examples are also shown below.

Frank Hinchcliff and Member’s Exhibition

I do have to say that Bruce Girdwood did a great job of judging the entries for the Frank Hinchcliff Memorial Trophy on 28 July.  The winner was, um, Neil Gordon, for the print “Edge Effect”.  Carol Molineux was runner up with her print “Searching for Food” of a Buller’s Mollymawk.

Bruce reminded us that in evaluating images he was looking for Intent, Style, and Technical competence.  He went on to update us on his own photographic journey – it is fascinating each year when he visits KCPS to see his own development, and where his image making is going.

For Bruce it is very much not “What am I going to photograph?”, but “Why am I going to photograph?”; he is making a visual diary off his experiences primarily for his own benefit. His imagery is inspiring.

Member’s Exhibition Monday 11 August

Two members – Ian Linning and Hal Gimperson – will talk about their interest in photography and show some of their work at our next KCPS meeting on Monday.

This is also the deadline for your entries for the Winter Salon.

Online entries can be made at https://kcps.org.nz/salon-entry-form/ with a deadline of 5 pm on Monday.
