≈ Comments Off on Frank Hinchcliff Results

Winner Carol Molineux being presented the trophy by judge Alison Viskovic

The 2020 Frank Hinchcliff Award was judged by KCPS Past President Alison Viskovic. The competition is for prints only and commemorates a founder member of the Waikanae Camera Club that was a forebear of the Kapiti Coast Photographic Society.

You can read all about the life and times of Frank here.

The winner this year was Carol Molineux with her brilliant image of a Spoonbill entitled “Spunk”. Runner up for the second consecutive year was Greg Whitfield with “Flying Ahead”.

Alison provided some great feedback on the submitted images. A hardcopy of her comments can be found in the Salon Results page on this site. Note that this is password protected for members only.

The following gallery contains the winning image (a photo of the print), plus digital versions of the runner up and those prints awarded Highly Commended.

The evening was rounded off by an entertaining and fascinating talk by local author Mike Peryer describing the wildlife of Waikanae Estuary.

2019 End of Year Awards

01 Sunday Dec 2019

Posted by Greg in Competitions, Meeting Report, News

≈ Comments Off on 2019 End of Year Awards

The annual end of year awards dinner was held on 18th November at a new venue for us the Lloyd Parker Plateau Centre in Parkwood Village. This marked the last formal event of the KCPS calendar. 2019 president Greg Whitfield presented the main club awards, with guest Bruce Girdwood judging and awarding the Best of Year trophies.

The club awards are taken by totalling the scores across all four seasonal salons, with bonus points being added for images that match the subjects for the Regional Interclub Print competition.

Moira O’Malley, who was last year’s runner up for the Novice Grade combined print and digital award went one better this year by taking the win, just ahead of Warren Sutton.

The Intermediate Grade Digital winner was Graham Lonsdale, with Isobelle Gosling runner up.

Greg Whitfield took out the Intermediate Grade Print award, ahead of Di Daniels.

In the Advanced Grade Digital, Gavin Klee won with Roger Smith runner up.

Winner of the Advanced Grade Print was Hugh Scott. Barry Culling was runner up. Unfortunately Hugh could not be with us at the dinner hence no cheesy photo.

The major trophies for overall best print and best digital of the year were judged and awarded by Bruce Girdwood.

Barry Culling won the Peg Griffin Trophy for Best of Year Print for his Water Lily with Frog. Alison Viskovic was placed second for Isolation.

28 Monday Oct 2019

Posted by Greg in Competitions, News, Salon Results

≈ Comments Off on Success at Whanganui Open Salon

The Whanganui Camera Club have been celebrating their 125th anniversary this month. As part of the commemoration, the club re-instated their annual Open Salon – last held in 1992. The theme was “Humanity and Earth”, and was further subdivided into three salon categories, one of which was titled “Humanity and Nature” and was judged by Simon Woolf.

Roger Smith was judged winner in this category for his ‘Keep Vehicles Away from Nesting Birds’ image, and he and his wife Mavis attended the awards dinner where he was presented his winning certificate by Vonnie Cave, Whanganui’s oldest and most distinguished member.
