≈ Comments Off on 2014 Spring Salon & Development Group Meeting
All 22 images which received either Honours or Highly Commended in the 2014 Spring Salon from judge Lance Lawson can be viewed online. Click on GALLERY in the main menu, or directly here. Thanks to Lance for his helpful judging last night, and for showing some of his recent commercial work.
It’s really pleasing to see how well new(ish) members in the Novice grade are doing. Gill Mackersy picked up an Honours for her print “Imperfect Beauty”, and Brian Holden had two Highly Commended digital images, once of which (“Intruder”) is shown below.
Congratulations to both Gill Mackersy and Rhonda Billington who will be promoted to the Intermediate grade in 2015, after submitting portfolios. (See the rules for the 2014 competition and promotion here.) The points have yet to be counted for promotion from Intermediate to Advanced. We’ll announce any changes at the end of year function.

The final Development Group for the year will be at 7:30 pm on 3 November. The topic will be “Lightroom Workflow”. Bring along some images (preferably RAW) on a thumb drive, for Neil Gordon to demonstrate how they can be improved using the tools available in Lightroom.

I understand that we came 4th in the 2014 Wellington Regional Interclub competition (also know this year as Photosports) on Friday night, out of the six Wellington Camera Clubs. We came first overall in the prints section, but didn’t fare so well in the digital.
The Development Group at 7:30 pm on 1 September will be a “Question and Answer” session. Bring along your questions about your camera, or anything to do with photography, and we will discuss and try to help.

≈ Comments Off on Summer Salon Gallery – and Natex in Wellington
The 19 images which were rated Highly Commended or Honours by Tony Whincup when he judged our Summer Salon on 25 March are now available. I’m sorry it’s taken so long – things have been rather busy with Natex.
Either go to the GALLERIES menu on our home page where from a drop-down you can access all galleries, or you can get to them directly here. Enjoy.
Deciding on Natex Prints Layout
Thanks once again to all those who have been helping with various tasks for Natex. One of the recent jobs was to look at all the accepted prints in the Te Horo Hall, and decide on the exhibition layout.
The Exhibition will be mounted in the West Gallery of the Wellington Town Hall next Wednesday.
If you weren’t able to register for the PSNZ convention, you can still see the Exhibition. Best times for public viewing are on Friday and Saturday 3 and 4 May, from 9 am to 5 pm. Do check it out if you can.

≈ Comments Off on 2012 Winter Salon Results
We sure had a bumper crop of entries! 26 members entered the Winter Salon, with all but four using the online system.
There were 40 digital entries – a record, as can be seen from the graph below showing entries since the start of 2010. It’s also very pleasing to see the number of entries from the Novice Grade this year.
KCPS Digital Entries since 2010
40 digital images plus 33 prints gave our hard-working judge Murry Cave 73 images to carefully consider. Many thanks Murry, for all the effort you put in.
There were around 30 members at the meeting last Monday night to see all the images and hear Murry’s comments on them – this took quite a long time, so unfortunately we didn’t get the chance to see any of Murry’s work – particularly his nature photography. That will have to wait for another day ….
The gallery of most of the 17 images awarded either honours or highly commended is now available on our website (see GALLERIES in the top menu for all of them).
Of particular note is the appearance in this gallery for the first time by new members David Blyth (a Highly Commended for his first entered image), and Barry Culling (an Honours and two Highly Commended for his first Salon), as well as an Honours in Novice Print for Gavin Klee’s image – well done!
