The Vereeniging Photographic Society

Newsflash

The Emfuleni Circuit Salon entries closed this weekend.  We received a total of 3946 photos from 330 photogaphers.  The most entries (like always) were in the Pictorial category (1064) , while interesting enough landscapes received the second most number of entries (912).  Now for the task of sorting it out and getting them to our remote judges!

The 2010 PSSA National Congress application form has been finalised and is available here. I suggest that you book your place at the congress as soon as possible, as we can only accomodate 180 people and it seems like this is going to be a very popular congress!  I've heard of many people who've already booked their accomodation even before the release of this application form! 

Basic Photography Course to commence on 10.03.2010. 
Please contact Pat regarding registration.

The following photos were selected as the top 3 photos at the last club evening.

First: Jerry Fowlds with Sisals

Jerry commented: "Die foto is naby Britstown tydens sonsopkoms geneem. Die Sisal bome het 'n mooi voorgrond geskep vir my gewone windpomp tema! Daar is nog baie windpomp fotos op dieselfde plek geneem! Ek het my Nikon D80 gebruik (sonder ‘n driepoot). "

Second: Cleo in the Mist by Sue Keartland

Sue said "Managing a short walk between 'white outs' on a game farm outside Machadodorp in mid January we were greeted by this scene as we returned to the house in the early evening. While I was trying to capture the effect of the mist on the dam my friends' dog got in on the act and made the scene complete by providing just the right focal point. Within minutes it was too dark to continue.  ( ISO100:1/10 @ f/8: exp comp -2: 23mm)"

And in the third place was Glenda Braithwaite with Flame Lily.

She said "Flame lilies are very difficult to photo in their natural environment due to the fact
that the flower itself is not compact and the background tends to interfere even if it is
out of focus. For this reason I used a plain black background which would also compliment the flowers colours.
 
The shot was taken late afternoon using natural light. (Shutter speed 1.3 using a tripod, Aperture 16 ISO 320.)"

Quote of the Day

Our nation must undergo a radical revolution of values beginning with a shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a "person-oriented" society.
