Portfolio Competition is closing soon.
If you have not already done so and want to enter the club’s September portfolio competition you still have a little time to get your entry in. Entries close this coming Sunday evening – Sunday 12th September. The competition will be “judged” by Craig Parker who presented to the club earlier in the year on the same subject. Craig has now also agreed to discuss the results of the competition to provide further feedback and learning on Wednesday 20th October.
The competition rules and the two guideline documents on how to prepare your composite image using either Photoshop or Lightoom can be found in the Club Documents area on the club website or when you are on the competition entry page you can access the same from the orange button titled “CLICK HERE TO VIEW COMPETITION RULES AND DEFINITIONS”.
Hurry, hurry, hurry. last chance to enter!

2022 Set Subject Competitions
It is time to start thinking about Set Subject topics for next year. Usually the topics are put forward by committee members but at our most recent meeting it was suggested that we invite members to submit nominations for a Set Subject along with a suitable criteria that judges can judge against. So, here is your big chance. If in the past you have bemoaned the list of topics and would like an opportunity to put forward a topic (along with a criteria) please send me your suggestions.
Please make sure that your topics are suitable for all members regardless of their grade and circumstances. For example, I don’t think topics around Drone Photography or Underwater Photography will be accepted by the committee.
2022 Set Subject topics along with a suitable criteria should be sent to the following email address by 30th September – belmont16sphotojudging@gmail.com

Image of the Year (IOTY) Competition
Just a reminder to all members that the Image of the Year Competition (IOTY) is fast approaching. It is run in November in lieu of the monthly competitions.
The club made an unsuccessful attempt to restart Print Competitions earlier in the year only to have to suspend them again after Covid restrictions were reimposed.
One of the rules of the IOTY Competition is that an entry in the 2021 IOTY Competition must have already been entered into one of the club monthly competitions that were held in 2021. It is therefore important that if you entered a print image in a print competition in May or June this year and you want to enter that image in the digital IOTY Competitions that you reenter that image in one of the digital competitions that are still available in September or October.

Portfolio Competition
Just a reminder that entries for the club Portfolio Competition close on Sunday 12th September. This is a great opportunity for us to think about our photography and to assemble six images and a composite, along with a Statement of Intent which describes the purpose of the images presented.
The tutorial last night by Janice Koskey from the United States stressed the importance of story telling to strengthen the story telling and impact of our images. She stressed the importance of looking at images deeply to try and understand how they work in communicating a message or an emotion. I think all members who enter the portfolio competition will gain some insights from their images that will help them to develop their own style and improve their image making.
You can find the links to the portfolio competition rules and the composite image guides when you click on the orange link button titled competition rules and definitions on the entry page on the club website. If you need any help please let me know.
