People |
At play – doing something – sitting in the park, walking
about, on their bikes,
talking.
|
As many images as possible of different people going around
their daily business, at work, on holiday and just chilling
out. Try not to photograph people eating.
|
|
Sports/events |
Local cricket match/football, marathons, various races etc.
Its not only the action, there are usually people watching
as well. |
Focus on the ‘action’ – where the ball is in a football
match or a cricketer throwing /catching/hitting the
ball. There must be other sports where there is plenty going
on.
|
|
Agricultural shows – horseriding,
tug of war, Steam Rallies, vintage car rallies
etc. Carnivals, open days, markets, fairs, car boot sales. |
Again, there are people standing proudly next to their
animals/tractors/motorbikes or old cars – usually
‘characters’. Try to get them in
context with what they are doing. Lots of colour and
interesting things to see, details to photograph.
|
|
Your home town or village |
try to get a different image - not the usual view of your
town or village. |
Maybe the backstreet if there is anything interesting to
see. Doors that have peeling paint, maybe there are flowers
growing out of wall, something unusual to see.
|
|
Wildlife |
Flowers, Butterflies and any other interesting bugs. |
Wild flowers – these include weeds, you may see something
unusual worth having a go at taking a photograph of.
|
|
Trees |
Go to the same spot every time. |
Look out for an interesting tree near where you live and
photography the same tree regularly to see how it changes
over the course of the year, see how the leaves develop,
change colour and in the autumn, the pattern of falling,
until the tree is bare again.
|
|
On your travels |
Locally or On holiday |
Take a camera with you when you go out in the car – even to
work if you can, you never know what you may see. When you
go out at lunchtime. General photos of the area, when you go
out for a walk, see what there is to see.
|
|
Image of the month - how about starting a folder that you can put your very
best image in every month, and do it over the course of the
year, so that you can either print it out or show as a
projected image on a members evening? It will help when we
are looking for images for battles and such like as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Purpose: |
Improve
images, get motivated to go out and take more images.
“Find” pictures in unlikely places, look at the world
differently. You do not have to travel very far!!

Deudraeth Camera Club.
Penrhyndeudraeth
Monday 15th March 2010
Mrs Margaret Barber of Beaumaris and Menai
Bridge Camera club was the judge on Monday night 15th March when
the annual Print and Slide of the Year Competition took place.
We had welcomed her husband Frank to the club some months back
when he judged another of the competitions and all remarked on
how good a job he had made of it. Margaret proved to be the
equal, if not more of her partner in the judging stakes,
providing all present with perceptive appraisals of each of the
large number of prints and projected images which were up for
the top two prizes of the club year. Many of the entries had
been seen before, this being a second chance to get previously
marked picture assessed and see how they got on with a different
judge.
As usual, there were some surprises with
previously highly marked prints being less favourably received.
However, quality as they say, will out and a previously highly
marked portrait entitled Ffur by Eryl Jones was declared the
winning print. Second place went to another previous well
received entry, of children at play on a beach, by Terry Mills
and Clive Street was placed third with another previously seen
detail of a holly tree in a landscape. However, the winning
pictures in the projected image section were new, with Clive
(again) receiving the top accolade for a stunning landscape
entitled “Pen yr Oleu Wen” Second place was shared by three
pictures, a beautiful dreamy waterscape by Asha Jones, an
equally attractive woodland scene by Terry Mills and yet another
landscape by Cive. Club chair, Penny Osborne thanked Mrs Barber
for her hard work and for the expertise of her adjudications, an
opinion shared by all.
