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 4th place) 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

Out and about Adelaide

I did a Photo Workshop run by the SAPF  a few weeks ago.  It was a 'Street Photography/Photojournalism' workshop and it was a lot of fun!

I have often admired other street photographer's images and was very glad to get the opportunity to try it myself, in the relative safety of a group workshop environment.

The day started with some basic practical instructions on camera settings and we learned about some of the 'greats' in Street photography, then we ventured out as a group into the City.

I hadn't been into the City since Mr Fixit retired from work over 5 years ago and quite a few things had changed ...... the thing that struck me the most was a lot of tall buildings had been built since I was last there .... and we are truly a multicultural city!

Whilst we were there primarily for 'street photography' I could not help but be drawn to some of the beautiful buildings that are now in our gorgeous city.

I will share some more images a bit later.  It certainly did the 'photo mojo' some good getting out and about with other photographers and the sun coming out in the afternoon to reveal these beautiful reflections made the cold early morning start all worthwhile.

Linking with Weekend Reflections #78

If you are thinking about doing a course with SAPF, I can wholeheartedly say 'go for it!'  The course went over 1.5 days (1 full day Saturday workshop/outing, with an evening session held on the following Tuesday to share our images).  Morning Tea & Lunch was provided on Day 1, with coffee/tea available on the evening session.

SAPF Results - 6 acceptances - woo hoo!!

I realised I hadn't shared my SAPF 2017 Annual Exhibition results - where has my head been lately?

I was most pleased to hear I had 6 prints accepted into this year's exhibition.














As well as my prints being on display throughout the official SAPF Exhibition, 'Hello Sunshine' and 'Family Stroll' are on display in the Riverland, SA.

Barmera Library Monday 5th June , until Sat 10th.
Renmark Library Saturday June 10th until Sat 17th.
Berri Library Monday 26th June, until Fri 30th June.

Which is really frustrating, as I will be in Barmera on 24th/25th June and just miss out on seeing it.

It was competition time again at the Port Adelaide Camera Club - this month's categories were "Shadows" and "Animals"

"Eagle Eye" Scored 8 out of 10
