Our own member, Don Dickins, will give a presentation on the topic of Still Life Photography.
We are familiar with still life photographs of food, flowers, bottles of wine, shoes, jewellery, appliances and equipment as used in advertising. Still life photography, the depiction and arrangement, generally, of mainly inanimate objects, gives the photographer many challenges in the choice of the design elements used within the composition. Lighting, as always in photography, is part of that challenge. This presentation will help members prepare for the Competition Topic on Still Life on 17 June 2019.
Comp 1905 – Open & Set – Still Life. A depiction of inanimate subject matter, typically an object or a small group of objects.
Comp 1910 – Special Trophy – Long Exposure. A photo that has obviously been taken using a long exposure. This is not a point-scoring competition.
Comp 2004 – Open & Set – Nature. Per the Australian Photographic Society definition. See https://www.a-p-s.org.au/index.php/nature-definition
Comp 2005 – Open & Set – Architecture. Architectural Photography is the photographing of one or more buildings and structures.
Due to our Christmas in July dinner being cancelled, we have been fortunate to secure Robin and Timothy Moon to present to us ‘Married to Photography’ – two very successful photographers who just happen to be married… or were they married and then became successful photographers? You can see their work on their websites and Wanderlust Imagery Facebook Page.
Comp 2008 – Set Only – Photo Rally. Photos that were taken during the Photo Rally in accordance with the Photo Rally rules. Details to be advised.
Comp 2011 – Set Only – Water– The theme has changed to ‘water’ This competition has no rules – up to your imagination!
Any subject treated pictorially. A pictorial treatment is one embodying the elements of good design, arrangement of composition, and which reflects the personal interpretation of the photographer.
Comp 02 – Set only – Australian Landscapes: A photograph of natural land or coastal scenery taken within Australia, which may include people, buildings or other objects, provided that these elements do not dominate the photograph. Seascapes with no land do not fit the topic.
