BCC October 2011 Competition - EDPI

The EDPI section for this month is open. I've chosen to use 2 photographs from recent BCC outings.
The first from our 'night at the cemetary', the second from the Big Boar Motorcycle Riders portrait shoot.

BCC October 2011 Competition - Mounted Prints

This month the competition for mounted prints is the theme of  "People in their Environment"
My first print is of one of our club members taking a photograph of some amazing street art in Melbourne.

The second print is one I've had up here before of a group of young men playing golf at Benalla Golf Club.

Mounted Prints - Boys on the Green



Benalla Camera Club - September EDPI - Patterns, Lines and Shapes

These are my entries for the September theme, "Patterns, Lines and Shapes". It's been a hard job choosing this time.

First up is the Benalla Monash Bridge, during the Spring Festival.

And this is the Reading Room at the State Library.

I've only got mounted prints at this stage which are for the 'OPEN' catagory. (EDPI's will follow). I've picked both landscapes for this.

Benalla Camera Club: August 2011 Competition Entries

The themes for this months entries were: Mounted prints = The need for speed, and EDPI = Open (anything goes). My 'speed' photos come from a club outing day at Winton. They are the best of a bad bunch but by the end of the day I think I finally worked out how to 'pan' and now I'm keen to go back there again.

MOUNTED PRINT: 'Transcar"

MOUNTED PRINTS - "Oops"

EDPI "Time at Melbourne Central"



EDPI "Lancefield Bank"

(I know I've put this one up before, but I like to keep all my comp entries together!!)

Benalla Camera Club - July 2011 competition

This month the competition themes are Photojournalism (EDPI) and Black & White Open for the mounted print section.

I love black and white photography, and would love the opportunity to do more work in this area. Unfortunately it also means more time in photoshop refining those skills. Here is what I came up with for this month.

I love photojournalism, (but I don't think I'm very good at it) and this is an area that I would like to work on. I love the concept of photographing the 'ordinary' in peoples lives, and I need to be more confident in approaching people and just asking if I can take the photo.

When the floods were in Benalla last year, there were some boys riding their bikes throught the waters. I overheard them say that they were hungry and wanted some chips, so I offered to buy them some hot chips in return for them being photographed. This is what I got....

and my last photo is of my gorgeous cat, Sassy. I've wanted to enter this picture for some time now, and this seems to be an appropriate catagory. Of course I'm biased, she's mine, she's cute and she's clever.

Lancefield, June 2011

I went off to Lancefield for a scrapbooking retreat over the Queen's Birthday long weekend. For just 15 seconds in the morning we had the most MAGIC light (and then it was gone!!)
