Well I am back from Melbourne and have some catching up to do.

Mini Exhibition

The mini exhibition showing the prints we entered in the Wellington Interclub Print Competition. is being set up. We need photos from Kevin and Hugh and then we are all go.

If you did not get a chance to take part in the selection, you should pop into the Arts and crafts centre to take a look. And at the same time you can see the “Wolf” Photo and the trophy.

Next Meeting

The next meeting is themed “The Compositional Dance.” It is a title of a chapter in a book called “Composition: From Snapshots to Great Shots”, by Laurie Excell, published by Peachpit Press.

We will show images, and talk to the topic. And if there is time, we can try and “walk the talk” by taking some photos.

So if you want to contribute, can you please do the following:

• Bring some images of a particular subject illustrating the different points of view that you “danced” to get the shot.
• I suggest you bring your cameras as well. That way we can spend some time doing a bit of a “Compositional Dance”.

When: 7:30pm, Wed 28th August
Where: Karori Arts and Crafts Centre

Hutt Battle

The annual Hutt Battle is in November. Each club shows 10 images in each of the four categories. This year they are Form, Function, Feeling, Free.

So start shooting now. We will be doing selection in October.

Well, what can I say! The Wellington Interclub Print Competition is now
over and I am happy to say that we managed to win. Woot!!!

Congrats to all concerned and thanks to everyone who contributed, either
by providing images or positive feedback during the selection process.

For the record, attached spreadsheet contains the score sheet and
analysis.

The topics and associated photographer are below:

6 – Beams – Kevin
1 – Contained – Heuchan
4 – Eggs – Hugh
2 – Eye – Bill
1 – Feathered – Bill
1 – Movement – Rachel
3 – Mysterious – Kevin
2 – Reaching – Bill
1 – Skin – Mark
2 – Terraced – Carol

The next meeting is on the 14th Aug. Unfortunately, I am again
going to be in Melbourne.

Talking between ourselves, we thought a show and tell evening would be
appropriate.

Can you bring along six images showing what is currently inspiring you
or what you are working on. Images can be print or digital. If you don’t
have something active right at the moment, feel free to bring along some
previous work.

The Wellington Interclub Print competition is being held on Monday
August 5, being hosted by Kapiti Coast Photographic Society. Details can
be seen at http://wic.org.nz

The topics are

  Beams            Contained
  Eggs             Eye
  Feathered        Movement
  Mysterious       Skin
  Reaching         Terraced

Last meeting we didn’t manage to finish the initial selection of all the
topics. We managed to find 3 in the following categories.

 Beams             Feathered
 Eye               Movement

And even though we looked at the following categories, we can do with
some more images.

 Contained         Eggs

So this meeting, we will complete the initial selection in the following
categories

  Mysterious       Skin
  Reaching         Terraced

To recap, as a club we have to choose one image for each category. To get there we have
three selection rounds:

Wednesday 26th June – Initial selection of 3 images per category
Wednesday 10th July – Continue initial selection of up to 3 images per category
Wednesday 24th July – Final selection

This initial selection will be via digital or print (digital preferred)

You can each submit up to 3 images per category. We are only going to select 3
in each category for the Final Selection. And for the Final Selection on the
10th July, these 3 need to be printed up, but not necessarily matted. For the
Competition itself, the prints need to be matted.

Can you please size to 1280px on the longest side and name them as
follows (this will help enormously when loading to the laptop):
category_your_name_anything.jpg where category is one of the categories
mentioned above.

e.g. beams_mark_berger_fast_car.jpg

Images can be from archive. The only thing is that they should not have
been shown at a previous interclub.

For the initial selections on 26th June and 10th July, we will select
the top 3 entries for each category by popular vote.

For the final selection on 24th July, we will try and use an external
judge/selector.

For this final selection, images should be printed, but not necessarily
matted.

When: 7:30pm, Wed 10h July
