At Friday nights club meeting for Sasol Highveld Photography Club, Louis van der Walt’s photograph, Dragon Fly Wing Motion, was not only judged the best senior photograph, he also achieved a full score of 15 for the photo.
It is very rare that full marks are given for a photograph and it is only done for exceptional work.
Johan Drotsky from “Bethal fotoklub” was the judge for the evening. He is also our regional director.
Members are 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 guest’s commentaries, 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.
