Our judge for the KCPS 2015 Autumn Salon last night was Stephen Rowe from the local Photo School.  It was really good of Stephen to judge our salon – his first time. Unfortunately we were not able to see his presentation after the judging – we’ll have to have him back for that.  Meanwhile, you can find out more about Stephen here.

We had more than 30 members present for the salon judging. While the print set subject of “Backlit” was relatively easy, there was lots of innovation applied to the digital set subject of “10 Square Yards”.

The images which received either Highly Commended or Honours can be seen in the 2015 Autumn Salon Gallery which is now online.

Special congratulations to new members Craig Burleigh and Helena Fierlinger, for their  first appearance in the Gallery for their awarded images below.
