Sasol Highveld Photography Club

Bookmark
Bookmarked

The photographers excelled again at their monthly meeting held in October.

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 own 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 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.

If anyone is interested in joining the club or just wants to know more about Sasol Highveld Photography Club they can contact Hanno de Beer at 071 365 6440

The next club meeting will be on Friday 3 November at the “Scrum Inn” Sasol Club

Here are the photos for October that received Gold or COM.
