Vote for proposed new award system
VOTING FOR THE FOLLOWING – 22 SEPTEMBER 2020
Do you support the following awards definitions and point score system for TPS as outlined as proposed by the TPS working group:
Proposed New Awards
Alice Black Award – this is the image of the night in the opinion of the judge. This image is one that has significant impact for the judge as a result of technique, composition or storytelling. It can be chosen from any grade or medium (print or digital)
Honour – This is awarded to an exceptional photograph which has impact, is technically excellent, well composed, shows originality and artistry, and has few if any flaws.
Merit – This is awarded to a very good photograph which meets high technical standards and also shows originality, artistry, and good composition. Any flaws present are very minor.
Highly Commended – This is awarded to a good photograph with good technique, artistry, and minor flaws.
Commended – This is awarded to a photograph which may have significant flaws that detract from the image and can be overcome or amended.
Out of Category – A photo that does not fit the criteriafor the competition is given this award.
The scores are as follows:
| Points | |
| Honour | 6 |
| Merit | 4 |
| Highly Commended | 3 |
| Commended | 2 |
| Out of Category | 0 |
Movement between grades will depend on the percentage of total competition points gained as follows:
| % of total competition year points attained | B grade to A grade | A grade to Salon grade | Movement between future levels in Salon grade |
| % | 55 | 60 | 65 |
The winner of the Alice Black award monthly competition receives 2 points, but the End of Year Alice Black does not, consistent with existing end-of year awards.
Yes/No
Please email back your vote, as a yes or a no, along with your name, NLT 22 September 2020.

Tuesday Night Microskill – with Margaret Kebble
A lesson on the use of tone curves for Lightroom.
The Tone Curve (simply referred to as “curves” by most photographers) is a powerful tool that can affect the overall brightness and contrast of an image. By adjusting the Tone Curve, you can make your images brighter or darker, and affect the contrast levels.
See you on Zoom, 7pm

Saturday Workshop – 29 August 4pm
Saturday Triple-Whammy Workshop
We will be meeting at the car park lookout after the saddle, on the upward side of the range, at 4pm.
The workshop will cover ‘Panorama Creation’, Panning’ and ‘Bracketing’.
Bracketing will assist those who have Lightroom for post-processing images into a merged High Dynamic Range (HDR) single ‘tonally complete’ stacked image.
Bring a tripod (if you have), a wide lens would be good too.
