You are invited to join us for section night Tuesday August 17th 6 pm at the Southern Cross 39 Abel Smith St Te Aro.
The section nights are an opportunity to meet other members, share, plan alpine adventures and be inspired by others.
Tomorrow night we have our photo comp, come and see over 100 photos from some of the best photographers in the section.
The judges will also discuss and critique all the entries so that we can learn from each other’s skills.
Judging criteria:
1. Category relevance – is the shot on subject, or should it be in a different category.
2. Technical competence/excellence – is the shot exposed well – right balance of dark and light, no burn out. Is depth of field used well/is the shot appropriately focused.
3. Creativity – what is different about the shot. Does an idea/story come through in the shot. Does it draw the viewer in/have emotional impact. What makes it more than just a pretty snap - unusual angle, choice of exposure settings, inclusion (or exclusion) of person or object to give context.
4. Difficulty to shoot – dawn/dusk, challenging light, difficult to reach angle.
1. and 2. are essential just to be accepted in category. 3. is what will define a winner, unless there are two winners, in which case 4., while not essential, might be the decider.
