63rd SAPF Annual Exhibition - Results

Hi there, to whoever is still reading my blog... not sure who is, but I will continue to post anyway :)

 

I recently entered the 63rd SAPF Annual Photographic Exhibition.  The SAPF is the governing body of South Australian Camera/Photographic Clubs.

 

I have just received my results - 1 Merit (effectively 3rd place, I think!) and 1 Acceptance

 

Both of my awards came from the Prints sections this year - Open Colour and Nature.   To gain any awards or acceptances, images usually need to be in the top 30% or so.

 

Acceptance - Nature Print

Merit - Open Colour Print

The Nature category is very special category for Port Adelaide Camera Club.

 

Dianne Davies Memorial Nature Trophy

Dianne Davies was a very popular and well-respected member of the Port Adelaide Camera Club from 2006 to 2016.

Dianne achieved many photographic accomplishments with the club, including winning the:

· Silver Club Trophy once;
· Gold Club Trophy 6 times; 
· Nature Trophy 3 times; 
· Photo of the Year Trophy in 2015; and 
· Our Port Adelaide Trophy in 2016.

Dianne passed away in August 2016 after a battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

In 2017, the PACC Committee introduced a memorial trophy in her name. We are all that much richer for her enthusiastic and inspirational contribution.  

 

My best results for this month were:

APS Honours obtained

I applied for my Honours with APS .....  (Australian Photographic Society)

 

 

I had to submit 25 images for consideration.  

Those images were judged by a Panel to be of  'acceptance' quality.

 

Here are the images I submitted.

 

 

I can now put 'AAPS' after my name .... woo hoo!! 

 

 

Cheers,

Cathy Cates, AAPS
