Landscape Print

Last night’s competition at Godalming Photographic Club was Landscape Print. I haven’t been able to take any photos recently, so I raided my catalogue. Both of these were taken in Yorkshire on a photo walk.

Stone Barn

The judge reckoned this was too cyan. I did a quick edit of the original to remove some cyan, and it did look much more natural!

Waterfall

Taken near Aysgarth falls, but not at that location, this was a careful crop to remove the other photo walk participants. The judge noted that a slightly higher camera position would improve the relation between the foreground rocks and the waterfall.

Monochrome

This week, the GPC competition theme was ‘Monochrome’. I entered:

The bunch

This is a re-edit of my earlier entry. I cropped it differently, to remove the distracting rider at the back right. I also went for a tighter overall frame. In the end, I suspect losing the moto rider reduced the story impact of the image, so that what remains is a bit confused.

Leaf

Another image I took as a result of Margaret Ford‘s mentoring. This decaying leaf, resting on a light box, was fairly monochrome in colour (think ‘brown’).

GPC Competition Entries

Two images today, entered in this week’s ‘Open Print’ competition evening at GPC.

Complementary Butterfly

This was originally intended for a nature print week, where the title would not be permitted. ‘Fritillary’ would be the title in that case.

Autumn Profusion

This image was printed with a plain paper border, to highlight the fact it was on a textured paper. Taken at Winkworth Arboretum, and inspired by mentoring from a GPC Member, Margaret Ford.
