Camera Club Results - MLPC

In October, MLPC held their annual exhibition with a display of each member's favourite photos.

 

These photographs were judged by two Judges, and a Top Image was selected from each Member.

 

There was a total of 88 images from 11 members on display at The Mawson Centre, Mawson Lakes.

 

The judges' chose the following image as their 'Top Image'

 

I confess, it is one of my faves too!   I love taking photos of birds; rainbow lorikeets in particular.

Weekend Reflections #537

Was playing with my new lensball recently (it was a cheapie and it seems to have a swirl in the middle .... some would call it a flaw, but I rather like it)

This latter image is one that was taken way back in 2015, but I had never actually entered it in the SAPF Exhibition - I am so glad I did now :)

My latest competition results

where is the time going?   I seem to have hit a bit of a photography slump :(

Any way .......

My camera club held the final monthly competition for the year in October.

The set subject was 'creative' and I entered a few images.






I must confess, I was most disappointed with the score & critique given for the above image 'Hollow Earth' by the judge.  This image was in the 'creative' category and his comment that 'the moon was too big' really hurt .... it was supposed to be big!  My concept was that the earth is in the moon's orbit - obviously I failed in portraying that concept.

Open Category

Through this year, I have been constantly amazed at some of the judges' comments on my images - sometimes pleasantly surprised, but other times I find myself wondering if I even have any real skill at all.

The Photograph of the Year competition is next Tuesday, I have 11 images entered, so stay tuned and I will share my results.
