If you have any questions, contact Louis van der Walt at +27 (72) 755-2767. The Sasol Highveld Photography Club is passionate about photography and the quality of its images. It wants its members to enjoy their photography.
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 guest’s commentaries, they should be able to improve.
The Judges for January was Jannie & Juanita van Niekerk
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.
