JULY JUDGING

Udo von Mulert was our judge for the July meeting. He is an A-grade member of the Manawatu Camera Club and has been taking photos for more than 20 years. Udo uses Nikon gear and has a real enthusiasm and love of the art of photography backed up with significant skills.

Udo was asked to judge prints and digital images in the set subject ‘Reflections’ and also open and experimental. There was an overwhelming amount of images submitted as members got stuck into the set subject. The judging was taken seriously by Udo who spent many hours poring over images and making notes.

On the night of the meeting Udo was introduced and went through the images with great comments and handy tips. He was a very knowledgable judge with lots of encouragement and humour. Many members got a great deal from Udo’s critique.

We would welcome him back for judging any time in the future.
