Our April Meeting

This month we were fortunate to have two members from the Gisborne Camera Club as our judges for the March submissions. The categories were the usual suspects with the set subject being ‘Wide Angle – On The Road’

Judi Grey did the print judging and Julia de Cleene judged the digital submissions. Although they couldn’t be with us to talk about their evaluations, they sent comprehensive notes on their judging with some extremely valuable comments for our members. They were impressed by the size of the prints submitted, suggesting pride in our work.

There were an impressive 35 prints submitted and 26 digital images. Of the 35 prints, 23 were from B grade members, including some brand new ones. This is a really good indicator of the vibrance of the club and its growing membership. Well done to all who put something in.

The judges wrote about each and every submission giving plenty of praise, helpful suggestions about composition and cropping and were generous with their awards. It was a positive experience for us and we would welcome their input again.

Club Workshop Evening

The recent club night was a great success. Experienced club members were on hand to help anyone with whatever they wanted to know. People divided off into groups to work together on what they had chosen. The tutoring was informative and done in a way that people could understand and enjoy. Members found it to be a valuable evening and the hope is to continue with this type of thing in the future.
