Assessment and Judging of Images

After our 2019 Annual General Meeting formally concluded, the members of our club that attended the FCC Judges’ course reported back on what they had learned and their general impressions. Thank you to Nancy Morley, Don Munro and Don Dickins for sharing your thoughts and experiences.

Jeff Akers also presented was some background material on how images are assessed and judged. The presentation and a video may be found at this link. Thanks also go to Jeff for these insights that are sure to be valuable to our members as they consider their future competition entries.

Slow PHO Photographic Exhibition

We have received information regarding the second exhibition (you may remember Photographic Alchemy) put together by a group of passionate photographers who use the historical processes of photography to meld a unique approach to image-making.  If that is not enough of an inducement, there will be live music at the opening event…and cheese.

Please RSVP Sue Buchanan at sbuchan1@bigpond.net.au if planning to attend the opening event. More information at https://www.nebuliarts.com/
