Happy Holidays

13 Tuesday Dec 2016

Posted by rachelstevens01 in Reminder

≈ Comments Off on Happy Holidays

merry-christmas-and-happy-new-year-20131

Hi everyone – last message of this year!

Update on AGM and following Committee meeting:

At the AGM we elected a full committee, except for a President! (Alison is not able to do a further year as president, according to the club rules.) The committee have decided to have a “rolling presidency,” with each member taking a turn for a month to chair the committee meeting and the two main club meetings. Alison has taken the role of Secretary, and so all routine business and communication can be handled by her.

The committee members for 2017 are:

Secretary and Immediate Past President – Alison Viskovic

Treasurer and Membership – Jo Goudsblom

Competition Secretary and Hostess – Karyn Crocker

Committee members – Sharon Burleigh, Gavin Klee, Rachel Stevens, Greg Whitfield.

We have finished the year on a high note: 

  • The end-of year dinner was a very successful occasion;
  • The Mahara exhibition of BW portraits of retired members of the community received a lot of positive feedback; and
  • The Kapiti calendar has been selling well – net profit to date is just over $2000 with only 40 left to sell. Those last few will be sold through the i-Site in Paraparaumu, if you want to buy any more. The calendar proceeds will enable us to fund things to benefit all members such fees for a special speaker or workshop,  or the costs of prints sets and exhibitions.

Looking forward to 2017: the committee are planning a range of activities similar to this year, including a field trip, probably in May and probably to Hawkes Bay.  Development sessions will be a “Topic of the Night” series, suited to both less and more experienced photographers. More details of all meetings will be in the club brochure, available at the first main meeting on Monday 13 February.

2017 National Interclub  Salons: One early activity will be putting together club sets to enter in these Salons –  Wiltshire Open Digital, Bledisloe Open Prints (NZ subjects), Bowron Landscape Digital and George Chance Landscape Prints.  We have decided to base our sets on images taken in the area from Lake Ferry to Cape Palliser, starting with some from the 2016 field trip but asking all club members to submit other images they have taken in the area.  While the Bowron and Chance sets need to be land or sea scapes, the open sets could be of buildings, vehicles, activities, wildlife, vegetation etc in that area…. So if you are over in the Wairarapa over the summer, do look for opportunities for new images.  In late January we will ask you to submit digital copies initially for a selection panel, then we will arrange printing of those chosen for print sets.  The sets have to be submitted in February, to be judged so the winners can be shown at Natex.

PSNZ 2017 National Convention “Photography on the Edge” will be in Auckland, 6 to 9 April. Information and registration at http://www.photographyontheedge.org

2017 National Exhibition: Entries opened on 1 December and close on 10 February. Information and entry process are on the Convention website (see above).

The committee wish you all the best for the festive season, and happy image-hunting!

ROGER SMITH’S FIRST SOLO EXHIBITION “OUR COLOURFUL WORLD”

09 Friday Dec 2016

Posted by rachelstevens01 in Reminder

≈ Comments Off on ROGER SMITH’S FIRST SOLO EXHIBITION “OUR COLOURFUL WORLD”

facebook

12TH – 30TH DEC 2017 at Artspace Gallery, Paraparaumu Library

A warm invitation is extended to all KCPS members and friends to view Roger’s first exhibition at the Artspace Gallery, Paraparaumu Library. The exhibition features a selection of Roger’s favourite images taken over the last few years in New Zealand and during his travels overseas. The exhibition is “public orientated” rather than for photographers, in that the images are largely those having achieved acclaim on the peer assessment Website “ViewBug”. There are lots of colourful images, some black and whites and, of course, several enormous acrylic faced landscapes.

Photival – Wellington photography festival

07 Wednesday Dec 2016

Posted by rachelstevens01 in Reminder

≈ Comments Off on Photival – Wellington photography festival

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
DEADLINE: FRIDAY 6th JANUARY 2017

New Zealand photographers are invited to submit their work for inclusion in the Photival Photography Festival. Three photographers will be selected to exhibit a selection of work at the Wellington Festival, launching in February 2017. The winners will be selected by a panel of international expert judges: Athol McCredie, Curator of Photography at Te Papa Museum, Nigel Atherton, Editor in Chief of Amateur Photographer, UK, and Myles Little, Photo Editor for TIME Magazine in New York City.

Have your work seen alongside internationally acclaimed photographers, in an exhibition in the city centre, as well as having one of your images displayed across the entire city to be seen by thousands, as part of our promotional campaign.

Theme: BRINK

Our world is on the brink in many respects. Will we save or destroy our environment? Will we create technology that vastly improves our lives or that will stop us from living them? Will we alter the current political systems to make a better world? Will we consider cultures, species, languages important enough to save? Show us your World on the Brink by submitting your work to be in with a chance to win.

CRITERIA

Please submit three images that fall under this year’s theme of ‘Brink‘. We want to see your world on the brink of change, be that environmental, political, social, economic or technological. These would preferably be a series, however we will consider unrelated images if they are of outstanding quality. We’re particularly keen to see work from residents of Wellington and New Zealand. Each submission of three images requires a submission fee of $10, payable through Paypal. You may make more than one submission if you wish.

All three images must be submitted in 300DPI PNG or JPEG. Minimum image size 2000 pixels on the long edge. Conditions of entry apply, please see the website http://www.photival.com/open-call/
