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
