Stunning Photos by Photographers

Bookmarked

The Sasol Highveld Photography held its monthly club meeting at Sasol Club on Friday 16 August.

The judge for the evening was Francois Venter from Pretoria and the set subject was “Through the Window”

The club hosts monthly meetings where members can enjoy informative talks by other photographers.

Various topics are covered, and this is always accompanied by photographs that the guest has shot.

Members are invited to enter their photographs to be judged in different categories.

Members are also graded by their skill levels and receive points to progress to a higher level. The aim is for photographers to improve by having their photos judged and critiqued. By taking note of the commentaries of the guest they should be able to improve.

Here are the photos for August, who received Gold or COM (Gold and Certificate of Merit).

Best Senior Photographer (August)

Leon Pelser with his photograph “Shade from Thunder” was judged as the best Senior Photographer for the evening.
