Important notice regarding print entry labels
It has come to the attention of the executive that print entrants using Myphotoclub printed labels receive a label with their name included. We have contacted the Myphotoclub web designer asking that names not appear on labels.
The principle is that all entries received by the judge must be anonymous. Digital images are. In the meantime, we ask all print entrants to remove their names from their print entries. We will be lenient with entrants who may not receive this communication immediately.
Please note we are not suggesting any breach of integrity has occurred either by judges or anyone else. However, the integrity of the current system can potentially be breached. The executive takes this seriously and ask for the cooperation of print entrants. We do not wish to disqualify any entries, but the entrant’s name must not appear on prints entered for TPS competitions.

Graham Harris Photographer’s Retrospective
The TPS 115th anniversary celebrations got off to a memorable start with a Photographer’s Perspective presented by Graham Harris last night.
With a humorous, poignant and family-centred theme in which featured shots taken by his father, and of his grandfather with kids in a sulky, Graham soon had his audience engaged.
Graham surveyed his top 35 award winning images and his batting average in national and international competitions.
He also included 14 images that didn’t do so well, and the reasons why.
He then went into Lightroom with the raw files of some of his top award winning shots, and showed some of the adjustments he made.
Most of Graham’s work concentrates on getting the image right in camera, and to quote Graham, he “doesn’t do a lot of post-processing”.
Graham joined TPS in 2004 and has held several positions, notably that of a long-serving vice-presidency, during which he introduced MyPhotoclub to TPS.
President Tryg Helander presented Graham and family with a weighty gift basket for his years of service. Graham will continue being an active photographer and TPS member, but recent illness forced him to relinquish formal positions in the club.
Nearly 100 images were submitted for the Image Challenge “Weather”.
Next month the challenge is “Water”, so we look to seeing many more images. Members can submit up to five Challenge images, five favourites and five from TPS field days – a total of 15.
And as Graham pointed out, many of his top images came from TPS field days. Download presentation

Photographic Retrospective – Graham Harris, Skills Night Feb 25.
Graham Harris CF FAPS AFIAP GPU CR-2 QPSA PSQA will present a retrospective on his photographic journey on the 25th February 2020.
Graham has been photographing since his early years growing up on various properties throughout New South Wales. He continued this passion in his working life with the Department of Primary Industries in Queensland and with a young family at Inglewood, Monto and Biloela.
In 2004 he joined the Toowoomba Photographic Society and stared entering our local aggregate competition. In 2007 he entered his first National Photographic competition and 2009 started entering International Salons, gaining some success with acceptances which has enabled him to obtain photographic honours with the following organisations:
- Australian Photographic Society (APS)
- Federation Internationale de l’Art Photographique (FIAP)
- Global Photographic Union (GPU)
- Photographic Society of America (PSA)
In his presentation Graham will reflect on his photographic journey and provide an overview of his experience with entering photos into competition. He will show examples of his successful images, and also those that have not been as successful in gaining acceptances. He will demonstrate the post-processing used to make the most of the images he captures and enters into competition.

Alice Black February 2020
To perpetuate the memory of our late member Alice Black, the club has introduced the ‘Alice Black Memorial Trophy’ to be contested each year on a perpetual basis.
At each month’s Aggregate Competition the judge will select an image from all those entered as the monthly Alice Black Image – they will use their own criteria to select the image regardless of the score given. All images submitted in the Aggregate Competition have the potential to become a possible winner of the Trophy as there is no restriction on the grade of the entrant or the medium in which the image is presented.

Comprising 142 A4 pages, “Closer” will be a must-have addition in the collection of photographers and anyone else with an artistic appreciation.
We all recognise Graham’s ‘Dorothea Lange’ shot on the cover, and I for one, can’t wait to get my hands on a copy and see what’s inside.
