Set Subject photo journalism<br />
Open whatever image you want to submit<br />
<br />
<br />
The judge came down from Auckland, and was very, very harsh. Personally I thought it was a bit of a shame that he had no real knowledge or interest in photo journalism. One of the things I find hard to come to grips with is the judges who always compare images to PINZ(Photographic Insitute of New Zealand). Most of us are not even on that level, and being judged to that high standard is a little unfair.<br />
<br />
As it turned out, my photo journalism image received 'Highly Commended'<br />

<br />
<br />
And my open image only received a 'Merit' which is pretty stink because I thought it was a great shot..<br />
It turns out the judge does not like images of flowers that do not show the flower all in focus. Oh, well a matter of personal taste I guess... I think he missed the point that the image is about the centre of the flower and not the whole thing..<br />

Highly Commended: Judges comment, perfect shot with the shadow and play of light . A great effort, and the use of the soft cloth as the back drop added a lovely softness to the composition.<br />
I'm happy with that, this one is going to be framed and put on the wall in our kitchen.<br />

Honours : Judges comment perfect shot , great composition. And the best thing I have heard since I have been involved in camera club, he said " I am struggling to find something wrong with this shot, but there is nothing wrong."<br />
This shot also received third prize overall from the other 15 other Honours shots... very exciting<br />
<br />
I am very excited, and am seriously thinking about entering this in our local Arts Festival in September.<br />
<br />
Next month August - set subject photojournalism<br />

This is my little guy, Lucca, he recently had a birthday and begged for a Spider Man birthday party. Ever since then he has acted the part of Spider Man anywhere and everywhere he goes ... in fact recently we were at the funeral for my husbands aunt, at the luncheon afterwards Lucca was kicking and punching at the air, his dad said to him, "Lucca, this isn't KungFu Panda" to which Lucca responded "I know, it's Spider Man" and ran off to play with his new cousins. So this post is H for Hero Worship! Lucca in his Hero's common stances. I just love my little guy!</div>

<br />
Each month we meet and a guest judge gives constructive criticism on our photos. We always have a set subject and an open section and we can enter in both sections or in only one if we want.<br />
<br />
The judge marks your photos from the lowest entry level, then merit, highly commended and honours.<br />
<br />
<br />
This month my images all received Highly Commended, with one of my images titled 'Bridesmaids' coming very close to Honours. The comment from the judge was that the image had a little too much white sky in the corners and it detracted from the overall look of the subjects...<br />

See that white sky, if I cropped the photo down and made it more of a panorama, I would have received honours. The good thing was the the judge gave the 'Bridesmaids' image a special prize for being the best overall entry from those that did not get honours. I'm happy with that..<br />

<br />
Some of the photos were a bit shaky, as I don't have a tripod, I used Sam's tripod for this first shot and the difference was amazing, for the second shot I used a rock to sit the camera on, it was virtually the same as using the tripod.<br />
<br />
Talk about 'extreme, photography, at one stage we were standing on slimy, slippery rocks in the mud with knee deep freezing cold water all around us. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy..<br />

AngelaMy technical knowledge of photography is very limited, and I must admit that I do tend to keep my camera on Auto Mode as it is easier and less hassle. Sam and Evette have been encouraging me to leave Auto behind and go to Manual Mode.<br />
<br />
Today, when I travelled up to the Botannical Gardens I decided to do all my shots on Manual Mode. Wow, what an eye opener it was, I had a great time learning about adjusting the settings to suit the light and composition of the photos. Manual Mode is my new friend...<br />

<br />
To set up Sam's new lights, go through her fridge and pantry to find suitable food to photograph may not be the norm for most families, but for us was FUN!!<br />

Not in our family.....Oh no sirie bob! Today for Mothers Day we spent the day completing a challenge by finding food from around my house....believe me there is not a lot to choose from, and photographing it under my NEW lights :-), it was so much fun hanging out with Mum trying different things. <br />
<br />
Here are my chosen examples and<strong><u> I challenge you guys to give it a go as well</u></strong>, if you dont have studio lights, natural light is the next best thing, if the sun light is too bright, you could try diffusing the light by shooting under a white sheet/table cloth (cotton if possible) hung across a washing line, sounds funny but it works a treat!<br />
<br />
I think images 2, 3 and 4 could have been lighter....oh well I know for next time :-)<br />

This is my daughters little "Girlfriend". Her Mom asked me to take some photo's of her with her toothless "Grin". This was my favourite shot of her. She is a sweetheart. I love that smile! I wonder if she'll have her teeth by Christmas or if that will be a request for Santa.</div>Evette Mendisabalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06580310456635637219noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914522303495048158.post-91474633783889658332012-04-24T19:43:00.003-07:002012-04-24T19:43:54.325-07:00Snap It - Water - Angela<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
