PSA victory

The January PSA EID results have just arrived and we did better still. First place with 62 marks.

Adrian did really well with “Best in Show” for Goth Girl.

Christine received “Honours” for her Girl Talk.

This puts us third overall in our group.

Well done everyone.

Well done to Adrian Lines who achieved his DPAGB at the weekend. This should keep us all on our toes!!!

Hey, we made an impact!

Results are out for the November leg of the PSA EID club competition. Great news! Four of our six entries received awards and we were the club with the second highest total score and the most awards. The ribbons will be sent to John and we’ll make the presentations at the January meeting.

Awards were as follows:

Christine Widdall for “Out of Season”

Forces’ Sweetheart

This is a work in progress and I’ve been playing with backgrounds. Please give me some feedback on the merits (or otherwise) of the 2 versions.The skin will be tidied up before I finish – also the shadows on the sandbags need attention, so it’s really a question of which version to pursue. The images will enlarge on click.

Thanks.

After adjustment…this is the final version…

October CPID entry

The images below were entered for the October PSA CDPI comp:

PSA Exhibition

Congratulations to Noel on his results in the PSA Annual Exhibition 2009, receiving 5 acceptances in the CPID Division.

Open Category: Bad Day at Black Rock and Lone Bothy

Creative Category: Tulips, Enchanted Castle and Farewell, Cheerio, Goodbye, the latter received a Bronze Medal.

1st CPNO International Exhibition of Photography

This is the first time I’ve entered an exhibition in China and didn’t really know what to choose to send…so decided to hedge my bets and send a bit of variety.

My entry of four comprised “Heroes of the Ice” and “Ivy Impression” (two of my two most successful images ever, but less traditionally photographic) plus “Free Range” and “Rain & Sun”. Acceptance mark was 14 (max 22)…scores as follows…Heroes 12, Ivy, 13, Free Range 14, Rain & Sun 17….so it looks like the more conventional-looking images went down best in Macau.

These were the accepted ones…

Rain and Sun

Free Range

Power Boat Racing

Weather was fairly kind, but didn’t get any real action.
