Competitions

October 04, 2024  •  Leave a Comment

Well it's camera club season again, the year has flown by and lots of interesting projects. One of the thinks I look forward to these days is entering competitions which gives what I do a little bit of purpose instead of languishing on drives.

So this time of year I go through the images I have taken covering several genres and places I have been and edit the ones I like for PDIs and A3 prints.

The first competition at Melbourne Photography club is dedicated to images taken with a smartphone, personally I use a iphone 15 pro which has a good camera and then I edit in Photoshop, Phone images are good but by no means are they as good as a full frame cameras and good lenses so there are limitations.

I tend to use my phone camera as a visual diary or proof camera so when I was selecting images to use for the competition they were images that were "being in the right place at the right time" or things that caught my attention.

The competition had some excellent  entries which were a pleasure to see.

I was pleased when my images did well as I liked them so it's alway a thrill when others do too.

I took first place with this image take at Flamborough head which I converted to monochrome.

North Landing

And in joint second place was my favorite taken under a canal bridge in Nottingham

Under the bridge

Joint third was an architecture image also taken Nottingham which I gave some artistic licence.

The final image did not do so well but that's how it goes in competitions.

This was taken last winter while descending from Kinder scout and was lucky enough to have some lovely lighting.

I hope you like my submissions
