New feature – the Critique Corner

A new feature, known as the critique corner, has been introduced to the club website.

The Critique Corner aims to help members to fine-tune potential entries by gaining feedback from other members before the image is entered into a competition.

All members, regardless of experience are encouraged to upload images and make comments on images. The aim is to help each other to develop both your image capture and processing skills, and to take the judges’ point of view when assessing an image. There are no grades within this activity.

Each member can upload one image per category. Once uploaded you can use this image in an upcoming competition. You can remove the image and replace it with another image whenever you choose.

The critique corner is accessible from the Members page (use the grey Members button) as shown below:

This is a new MyPhotoClub feature so feedback to colin@mypho toclub.com.au is welcome. All members are subscribed to receive a once a day notification message when new images are submitted. Go to the Critique Corner to unsubscribe.

More information, including a video, is on the Critique Corner page.

Basic Judging Course

Bill Chambers will be conducting a 2 day Basic Judging Course at the Belmont 16s Club on 2nd and 9th February 2020. Bill will be assisted by Roy Killen.

Note that it’s not designed as a “be all / end all”, or “know-everything-there-is-to-know” style of course. Rather it is loosely based on the QLD Judging system whereby students complete this course, then are Mentored by qualified judges to complete their training.)

Even those who are not interested in actually becoming judges in the future will gain an insight into the judging process & can use what they learn to enhance their own images.

The course will cost $40. Belmont 16s Club members will receive a 50% discount ($20) Payment is due by 10 January 2020

ALL PLACES HAVE NOW BEEN FILLED
