2015 Winter Salon Results

25 Tuesday Aug 2015

Posted by KCPS in Meeting Report, Salon Results

≈ Comments Off on 2015 Winter Salon Results

Our judge for the KCPS 2015 Winter Salon last night was Cliff Threadgold FPSNZ ARPS. His judging was very thoughtful, thorough and well explained, with many useful comments about what was good and what could be improved in the images.

After the judging, Cliff kindly showed some of his own photos – first about all the opportunities which present themselves (which is why it is always useful to have a camera with you), and second a presentation of people shots from Nepal.

We had around than 30 members present for a great evening.  The images which received either Highly Commended or Honours can be seen in the 2015 Winter Salon Gallery which is now online.

Special congratulations to Brian Holden and Chrissy Garlick for their Honours in the Novice Section, for the images below.

Kapiti News Photography Article

21 Friday Aug 2015

Posted by KCPS in News

≈ 1 Comment

KCPS member Chrissy Garlick wrote this very interesting article, which appeared on page 30 of the 19 August 2015 edition of the Kapiti News. It looks into the history of a photography which was made by Mike Martin, who is also a KCPS member.  Wilf Wright also used to be a member of the former Waikanae Camera Club, which later became KCPS. And one one final KCPS connection, the photo of the photo with Wilf is by Alison Viskovic, the current President of KCPS.

Hal Gimpelson – Upcoming Exhibited Work

17 Monday Aug 2015

Posted by KCPS in Exhibitions

≈ Comments Off on Hal Gimpelson – Upcoming Exhibited Work

KCPS member Hal Gimpelson will have a second solo show in the Art Space at the Paraparaumu Library from 23 August through 11 September.

It includes 15 abstract close-ups of rust and graffiti on railroad cars and prints of sunsets.  Some of these images have been seen at KCPS meetings but have been refined.  Some of the sunsets are now printed about 1.5 metres wide.  To whet your appetites, below are a couple of the images on show.

Emerging Light Gallery

For poetry readers, three of Hal‘s writings have also been selected by three artists to create new works.  It’s a fascinating show combining writer and visual art at an annual show entitled Con-Fluent at the Emerging Light Gallery in Plimmerton from now (it started on 14 August) to late September.

A metal piece by eco-jeweller JoAnna Mere is entitled Exhale/Poumoana with words from Hal’s Never Stopping, a felting work by Birgit Moffatt based on his Carving Aotearoa, and a third piece composed of layered and carved photos based on his We Can’t Photograph Every Cloud.

“Monochrome 2015” Exhibition 2—13 September 2015

04 Tuesday Aug 2015

Posted by KCPS in Exhibitions

≈ Comments Off on “Monochrome 2015” Exhibition 2—13 September 2015

Mike Martin from KCPS, and Fred Wotton who will be our judge for the Spring Salon, are just two of the excellent monochrome photographers who will be exhibiting in “Monochrome 2015”.  This runs from 2—13 September at the Odlin Gallery, 9-11 Myrtle Street, Lower Hutt.  Open from 10:00 am — 4:00 pm daily.

Further details are below.

B&W Group

 Monochrome 2015

The Monochrome Group, a group of highly
experienced amateur photographers, will
show their work in an unusual exhibition in
Lower Hutt this month.

Monochrome 2015 will be the group’s second
exhibition, the first of which, in January
2013, set attendance records for the Odlin
Gallery.

The group, whose members come from
throughout the Wellington region, was
formed some 15 years ago with the intent of
preserving traditional photography.
Devotees of the darkroom, the group
members continue to use film and
chemicals rather than digital cameras and
computers.

Nine members will each present images in
an exhibition at the Odlin Gallery, near the
Dowse Gallery, in Lower Hutt, from 2
September 2015.

One of the group, retired engineer Brian
Smith, uses a large Kodak 2-D view camera,
a model maufactured between 1921 and
1950. Its 8×10 inch negative is equivalent to
a 1.3 Gigabyte digital file and produces
images far more detailed than those from
the average digital camera. Contact prints
from these negatives show domestic and
other interiors.

Another member, Johnsonville resident
Fred Wotton, now in his 80s, has been a
member of the group for over 10 years. His
speciality is capturing panoramic scenes
with his 35mm Leica rangefinder camera,
which he has been using for the past 54
years.

Posted by KCPS in Reminder, Useful Links

≈ Comments Off on Window Lit Portrait Advice – Winter Salon Entries Due Soon

Still working on that image for the set print them of “Window Lit Portrait” for the Winter Salon?

Here’s some useful advice you might like to review for that theme.

And don’t forget that the set digital theme is “Industrial Disease”.

Entries for the Winter Salon are due by Monday 10 August. Please – online entries must be in by 5 pm so that I have time to collate them all for the judge.

Monday 3 August Development Session

This Monday’s session is more for Advanced workers but all members are welcome to attend.

The topic is macro photography and lighting for macro – please bring your camera and lenses, and some (small!) subject matter to photograph.

Monday 10 August Print Selection

The main meeting on 10 August will be to select prints for the Wellington Interclub Print Battle, due to be held on Tuesday 8 September in Petone.

Bring along lots of prints, which at this stage may be any size, mounted or unmounted – if a small one is selected then there is time to get it enlarged and mounted etc.

KCPS needs to have one final image for each of the following subjects:

Intimate Moments
Let’s Make Music
Backlit
10 Square Yards
Window-lit Portrait
Industrial Disease
Inspiring Views
Stormy Weather
Architecture
Glassware
