Club Competition
One excellent way for our members to develop their photography skills is to have their photos reviewed and evaluated by a recognised expert. Using constructive criticism, a judge can help the photographer look at their work in a different way and give more consideration to the technical and creative elements of each image.
This year, as an experiment, we held our first ever photo competition for our members.
The judge made specific comments on each photo and gave a lot of general advice on improving photos… in particular:
- Controlling distractions that can appear at the edges of photos.
- Telling a story within an image.
- Tips on cropping, and angles to direct the viewer to specific parts of an image.
Shown below are the images that were awarded the top three places….
