For the last competition in the 24/25 GPC season, the theme was ‘Street’. Here’s an entry I made:
Taken on the south bank using a phone, this was lightly processed in Lightroom to square up the verticals and horizontals.
Two images from a themed competition tonight: ‘Less is more’:
The judge felt that this image was too complete, and too complex to meet the brief. I think it needed the title to work at all as ‘less is more’, and that was a stretch too far. The judge also felt there is too much yellow in the grass. I have just done a small edit to remove that, and it does look better!
More successfully ‘on brief’ the judge felt this image worked well. The border was important, and the grey mount I showed the print in was also felt to add to the presentation.
The recent camera club competition was for a Triptych, with no other guidance. We were given help about how to assemble them into one image for submission to the competition. I had two entries
Taken on a recent holiday in Brussels, this building caught my eye, as IBM seemed to have named offices around the world, often with quite striking architecture. These were taken with an iPhone.
Taken on a recent photography trip to Brooklands, with the explicit aim of getting a Triptych to submit.
For both of these images, the judge felt that the third image belonged less well, and something different in their place would have made the Triptych’s stronger.
