≈ Comments Off on Club News and Acknowledgements

Recent KCPS activities and achievements include entries in three PSNZ inter club competitions and the awarding of PSNZ honours.

KCPS was awarded second place in the Bowron Landscape competition with images from Greg Whitfield, Jacky Challis, Shona Jaray and Graham Lonsdale. Many thanks to Jacky Challis and Kelly Munro for contributions to the selection process.

This year thanks go to Eva Petro, Caroline Ludford and Ian Yeoman for compiling our entry to the Wiltshire Digital Image Cup. Images provided by Eva, Greg, Ian and Jenny Setchell.

Having won the Trenna Packer last year, and despite a very strong entry comprising images from Carol Molineux, Gavin Klee, Rhonda Billington and Jim Embury, KCPS didn’t make it into the top three. Thanks to Carol, Gavin and Rhonda for putting together the club entry:

Finally, warm congratulations to Ian Yeoman on achieving LPSNZ honours this year.

Regional Print Battle Goes to the Wire

28 Thursday Oct 2021

Posted by Greg in Competitions, News

≈ Comments Off on Regional Print Battle Goes to the Wire

The 2021 Regional Print Battle this year was a very closely fought affair. Last years’s winners – KCPS – were joint runners up.

Impromptu Pop Up Exhibition after the judging

Judged by Bruce Girdwood FPSNZ, the battle was between the hosts Hutt Camera Club, Johnsonville Camera Club, Kapiti Coast Photographic Society, Wellington Photographic Society and Kapiti Camera Club. The format of the competition is that there are ten rounds, each of a different theme. Each club enters a photo in each round, and the judge orders them from best to least favourite. Points are given based on position – 1 point for 1st, 2 for second and so on. The club with the least number of points by the end of the evening takes the glory of winning the trophy.

The themes this year were:

  • Blur
  • Framed
  • H is for…
  • In the City
  • Multiple Exposure
  • Symmetry
  • Triptych
  • The Great Outdoors
  • Wet
  • What we do in the Shadows

As you can see from the scoreboard, it was an incredibly tight and exciting competition – only four points between first and last. The lead changed several times as each round unfolded.

Hutt and Johnsonville camera clubs took joint first place, the two Kapiti’s were joint runners up, with Wellington just one point behind. Bruce Girdwood commented that he had not seen such a strong set of fifty images all in one place for a very long time – all his decisions were very close.

A nice touch to round off the evening was with an impromptu pop up exhibition of all the entries across the clubs, giving everyone a good chance to browse some fantastic and inspiring images.

The committee had a tough time selecting images to represent the club from a large set submitted by the KCPS photographers. Our entries are in the gallery below, listing the theme and author.

  • What We Do in the Shadows – Alison Viskovic
  • Blur – Roger Smith
  • Multiple Exposure – Greg Whitfield
  • Wet – Jacky Challis
  • The Great Outdoors – Neil Gordon
  • H is for…. – Jacky Challis
  • In the City – Roger Smith
  • Symmetry – Alison Viskovic
  • Framed – Margaret Low
  • Tryptych – Eva Petro
