Sasol Highveld Photography Club (SHPC) bid Hanno de Beer Farewell at their September club meeting. Hanno was a longstanding member of SHPC. Hanno was also the club chairman over the past few years. Hanno is moving to the Netherlands after accepting employment there.
Sasol Highveld Photography Club (SHPC) hosts monthly meetings where members can enjoy informative talks by other photographers.
The Best Senior at the meeting was Leon Pelser with his photograph “Venomous Black Mamba”
Various topics are covered, and this is always accompanied by photographs that the guest has shot.
The best Junior at the meeting was Edmund Hattingh with “Red Eye”
Members are invited to enter their photographs to be judged in different categories.
The best photographer in the Set Subject category was Leon Pelser with “You Bitch.”
Members are also graded by their skill levels and receive points to progress to a higher level. The aim is that photographers should improve by having their photos judged and critiqued. By taking note of the commentaries of the guest they should be able to improve.
Different “certificates” are awarded to the photographs. These are Bronze, Silver, Gold and Certificate of Merit (COM). If the author (photographer) does everything wrong in a photo, for his/her skill level, such as out of focus he/she will receive a bronze. Doing everything right will result in gold or even a COM.
Here are the gold and com awards of the evening.
