Vote Winning Results

March Copyart   "Vintage"

As we’re unable to meet together to view this month’s images we’re going to try an online voting system (which we hope will work!) 

The page will be located on the website at https://www.nelsoncameraclub.co.nz/copyart-voting.html  and will contain both an AV presentation to view the images and voting instructions.  The page will be made ‘live’ from Sunday 5th April and members will have until Monday 13th April to view and vote.  Big thanks to Chris Tews for compiling the AV.

Feedback 

Now that members have been able to use and engage with the website a few times we’d like some feedback on how people have found the new site and the ease and usability of the image submission forms.  We want to iron out any issues or difficulties that members may have but in order to do that we first need to know what they are.

 

A short feedback survey can be found at: https://www.nelsoncameraclub.co.nz/feedback.html

It will be available until Monday 13th April

DxO has taken the Nik Collection into its fold and enhanced it heaps.   Much better in my view.
