Frank Hinchcliff

I’ve been away a bit lately – hence the lack of posts (apologies).  I was sorry to miss the judging of the Frank Hinchcliff Competition by Bruce Girdwood on 13 July.

Congratulations to Carol Molineux who was this year’s winner of the prestigious trophy, with her print “Facing the Storm”.

Runner up was Barry Culling, with “Fast and Low”.

This year, we asked Bruce to award “Honours” or “Highly Commended” ratings to the images he liked best.  A full gallery of those images is available under the GALLERIES section of the KCPS website here.

Meeting 27 July – PSNZ Honours

Shona Jaray will be the speaker on Monday night’s meeting at 7:30 pm.  She’ll talk about going for PSNZ Honours. In particular, she will show examples of unsuccessful and successful sets.  This should be a very worthwhile session for those who are considering going for honours next year.

I do have to say that Bruce Girdwood did a great job of judging the entries for the Frank Hinchcliff Memorial Trophy on 28 July.  The winner was, um, Neil Gordon, for the print “Edge Effect”.  Carol Molineux was runner up with her print “Searching for Food” of a Buller’s Mollymawk.

Bruce reminded us that in evaluating images he was looking for Intent, Style, and Technical competence.  He went on to update us on his own photographic journey – it is fascinating each year when he visits KCPS to see his own development, and where his image making is going.

For Bruce it is very much not “What am I going to photograph?”, but “Why am I going to photograph?”; he is making a visual diary off his experiences primarily for his own benefit. His imagery is inspiring.
