Important Dates

19 Thursday Jan 2017

≈ Comments Off on Important Dates

KCPS 1st Meeting for the YEAR.

An early reminder that our first meeting of the year will be on Monday 13 February – a general catch-up for us all, planning for the year’s events, and a surprise item the committee are planning. The brochure for the year will be available at that meeting.

 

Wiltshire Cup & Bledisloe Cup 2017

Top of the agenda right now, however, is putting together two sets of images taken on the south Wairarapa coast by our members.  These are to enter in the Wiltshire Cup (four digital images) and the Bledisloe Cup (four prints, subjects must be taken in NZ).  A selection subcommittee will decide on the final sets.   Once we know which images are chosen for the prints we will ask for larger high-resolution files to print from. Some images may come from last year’s field trip but others are welcome.

Please email your images in the size you would submit for club salons: max 1080 ppi  on the vertical side, max 1620 pip on the horizontal side, SRGb and JPG.  Your images can be of landscapes, buildings, people, activities, seascapes, even abstracts… we’d like lots to choose from. They need not have been in a club salon beforehand. Everything you send will be deleted from the computer once decisions have been made.

The deadline to receive these images is Friday 27 January. Send to aviskovic@paradise.net.nz.

The Auckland Photographic Society is pleased to announce that registration for the 65th PSNZ National Convention – Photography on the Edge.

Being held at the Waipuna Hotel and Conference Centre, from 6 – 9 April 2017, this will be an exciting opportunity for everyone to learn from the best, experience the enthusiasm of passionate photographers and to interact socially with other members and friends from throughout New Zealand.

If you have never been to a PSNZ national convention before, put an ‘I need to be here’ action on your calendar.

Register now for the ‘early bird’ discount and ensure you don’t miss out on your preferred choice of workshop and field trip.  The timing of the field trips will allow delegates to attend one in the morning, be returned to the hotel, and to then attend an afternoon session. Read the instructions carefully and follow the easy steps to register.

There is an outstanding lineup of talented photographers, speakers and presenters, as well as a great support from sponsors and trade stands – you will definitely be spoilt for choice.

The website is packed with information, so check it out for yourself and don’t delay your registration at www.photographyontheedge.org

KCPS Interclub Successes

23 Wednesday Sep 2015

Posted by KCPS in Competitions, Meeting Report, News

≈ Comments Off on KCPS Interclub Successes

KCPS has done well in two recent competitions.

George Chance – 2nd for NZ

George Chance Cup – only just beyond our grasp!

We entered a set of four prints for the George Chance Interclub Print Competition for landscapes.  I’m pleased to say that KCPS came second.

Congratulations to Jo Goudsblom, Gavin Klee, Carol Molineux and Rachel Stevens whose prints were used for our entry.

Thanks also to Alison Viskovic for her hard work in printing and matting the set.  We won’t show the (stunning) print set publicly online just now, because some prints may be used for other club entries.

Wellington Interclub Print Battle – 2nd

Another 2nd for this interclub print competition, that took place in Petone on Tuesday 8 September.  Well done to Peter Ellis, Neil Gordon, Jo Goudsblom, Carol Molineux, Hugh Scott and Alison Viskovic whose prints were used, after being selected at our KCPS meeting on 10 August.

Eight club members were there for the live judging. We were apparently in a three-way tie for first half-way through, but ended up just pipped at the post (by one point?) at the end.  The winner was the Aotearoa Philippines Photographic Society, who will also be the host next year.
