It was another great meeting last Monday with the Members’ exhibition.  More than 30 of us saw some great images from three of our members Stu, Gavin and Des, and heard about their unique styles and interests in photography.

For those who were able to be there, here’s an image from each as a memento;  for those who weren’t, this is just some of what you missed!

From three members to three panels – a reminder from PSNZ about the Nelson National Triptych Salon, which closes at the end of August.

PSNZ National Convention

14 Wednesday Mar 2012

≈ Comments Off on PSNZ National Convention

See the information and reminder below – time to register for the PSNZ National Convention if you haven’t already done so.

I can vouch for the friendliness and hospitality of the people. And for the delicious oysters. I spent last weekend in Invercargill to observe the NATEX Selection process, and learn as much as possible about how it works, since KCPS will run NATEX in 2013.

Speaking of NATEX, the 2012 results are just out.  The selectors set a high standard, with just 114 of 604 open projected image entries selected, 102 of 414 open prints, 80 of 370 nature projected images, and 55 of 187 nature prints.   Two images from KCPS members were selected – Shona Jaray with an open print of “The Coalpit Dam” and me with an open print of “Incoming“.

PSNZ’s Most Wanted – Your Images

≈ Comments Off on PSNZ’s Most Wanted – Your Images

It’s well worth checking out Tony Bridge’s website including his blog.

In a recent post Tony asked people to send in digital images that could be used  as test images for people who have applied to become PSNZ accredited judges.  He needs at least 100 of them. They need not be award-winners – a variety is what is needed. As Tony put it, “They do not have to be your finest work.”

Check out the post for more details, and please contribute some images if you can.

Tracey Robinson

The main event for our regular 4th Tuesday meeting will be the judging of the spring salon. Tracey Robinson from Rotorua kindly stepped in at the last minute when the pre-arranged judge unexpectedly had an assignment in Australia. Tracey will not be able to be here in person, so we will read through her emailed ratings and comments.

The meeting will be at 7:30 pm Tuesday 25 October in the Presbyterian Church Hall, 43 Ngaio Road, Waikanae. See you there.

While I have your attention – don’t forget our upcoming Sausage Sizzle on Sunday 30 October. And time is running out to enter the Jack Sprosen AV competition – entries must be in by 4 November.
