4-Club Interclub Results

Dave Sumner

The 4-Club Interclub competition was held last night, 17th Apr at Maroondah’s Club Rooms in Ringwood. The night was quite hotly contested between Berwick Viewfinders, Maroondah Photographic Society, Eastern Suburbs Camera Club and Waverley Camera Club. There were some very good images presented and the judge Rob Sloane did his best to tell us about each image. Thanks you to everyone who contributed to the competition and to Paul Spence, Vicki Moritz, Rosie Hughes, Dave Sumner and especially Donna Clarke for the efforts in getting the images together. The results were as follows:

Club – EDI Images – Mono Prints – Colour Prints

Berwick – 62Pts – 64Pts – 71Pts (=1st)

Marroondah – 68Pts – 66Pts – 61Pts

Estn Suburbs – 69Pts (1st) – 67Pts (1st) – 57Pts

Waverley – 66Pts – 60Pts – 71Pts (=1st)

A very special mention must go to Vicki Moritz, our star photographer who scored a 1st in EDI for Southern Cross Station and a 2nd in Open Prints for St Kilda Dawn (my absolute favourite image), well done Vicki.

Definition for ‘Nature’ competition

Pete Davies

We have a monthly comp coming up titled Nature. The images you submit must adhere to the following definition or they will be deemed ineligible:

Nature (N) – Nature photography depicts living, untamed animals and uncultivated plants in a natural habitat, geology and the wide diversity of natural phenomena, from insects to icebergs. Photographs of animals that are domesticated, caged or under any form of restraint, as well as photographs of cultivated plants are ineligible. Minimal evidence of humans is acceptable for nature subjects, such as barn owls or storks, adapting to an environment modified by humans, or natural forces, like hurricanes or tidal waves, reclaiming it. The original image must have been taken by the photographer, whatever photographic medium is used. Any manipulation or modification to the original image is limited to minor retouching of blemishes and must not alter the content of the original scene. After satisfying the above requirements, every effort should be made to ensure the highest level of artistic skill in all nature photographs. (Also the FIAP definition).

Have fun!
Pete
