Successful start to this Season’s Photographer of the Year Competition
Last night Norwich & District Photographic Society held the first meeting a our new home - The Interactive Studio at the City Academy, Norwich in Bluebell Road.
The meeting attended by nearly sixty members split 50/50 between those present in person and those joining in via zoom from home saw a successful start to this Season’s Photographer of the Year Competition which was judged by Johnnie Rogers ARPS DPAGB AWPF AFIAP who said in summing up the evening - “…A great set of images which shows just how much talent there is in your club, well done to all…”
In each Round each entrant is allowed to enter a maximum of two images:
* The first image should comply with the theme for that has been ‘defined’ including any restrictions regarding manipulation processing for the defined image in each round.
* The entrant is able to choose the theme/subject of the second image and there is no restrictions placed upon manipulation.
The defined theme for Round One was MINIMALISM (IN COLOUR)
Minimalism emphasises the use of a minimal number of compositional elements: colour, objects, shapes, and textures. To so many of us Minimalism refers to clean lines and black and white objects. But you do not have to see the world in two colours to be a loyal Minimalist...! Minimalism does not mean that no colour is ever allowed in your life anymore.
Congratulations to Adrian Richmond whose image CALM SEAS won the f5.6 League, and William Moore whose image UNDERWATER won the f2.8 League.
In the free-choice round congratulations to Andrew Loveday whose image SHADOWS ON THE PIER won the f5.6 League, and Steve de Roeck whose image CLOSE UP won the f2.8 League
