≈ Comments Off on KCPS Wins 2021 Trenna Packer Salver
The objective of the national PSNZ Trenna Packer Salver Competition is to illustrate the diversity of the natural world in New Zealand and its off shore islands, with images that are of a very high standard. There were sets entered from twenty once camera clubs across the country, and this year the winner of the competition was – us!
Contributors to the winning set were:
Anthornis melanura – Gavin Klee
Geum uniflora – Carol Molineux
Metrosideros umbellata – Carol Molineux
Scutellinia colensoi – Rhonda Billington
Stalactite Patuna Chasm – Neil Gordon
Female Ischnura aurora – Rhonda Billington
And special congratulations to Rhonda and Gavin who were awarded honours for their images. A great result all round for the club.
This is what the judge, Bob McCree FPSNZ had to say about the Kapiti Coast Photogrphic Society’s entry:
“An excellent, diverse and consistent set of natural history images. This is certainly one of the best sets here with each image nicely notated with the Latin names for the species. The set is well book ended by two very strong images nicely positioned – the first looking into the set at the start, and the sixth looking back into the set at the end. There is a very pleasing tonal flow and mixture of images here. The consistent high quality of each individual image together with their placement within the set and the overall high quality of the set’s presentation, all adds up to a very pleasing set to view.“
The 2021 Frank Hinchcliff Award was judged by Bruce Girdwood, who did his usual excellent job in providing thoughtful and insightful comments on this year’s entries.
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.
Congratulations to this year’s winner Ian Yeoman, with “New Zealand Dotterel”
