Alice Black Award winner May 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.
This month’s winner is “Man vs beast” by Michael Jones.

From our Judge Bob Britcher
Preamble to Club
Critique for May 2020.
Hi everybody it’s always nice to be
invited back as your Guest as the PSQ Accredited Judge for tonight’s Critique
… It’s been an honour to go through and admire the work that you do … As
individuals members of the Judging Panel may have limited knowledge, but as a
Group we have a vast range of knowledge that if need be we can seek advice from
… No one in the Group is a Guru, when we critique we only bring to the
occasion what knowledge we have at that point in time … We are all members of
Clubs just like yourselves, who have the desire to help who we can to advance
their own skills and knowledge … We may not agree with each other sometimes
on the information we offer, but you have the choice of choosing whose
methodology you may wish to follow … That choice in a democracy – simply put
– is called Diversity of Opinion
Tonight I offer my thoughts and
suggestions to you again … Any suggestion is simply a guide not a rule or
suggestion you have to follow, it’s just a Personal Point of View … Everybody
is entitled to own their own opinion, that includes the Author of an Image,
anyone else who may be a viewer, including the Judge whoever they may be … In
any Art Medium there are no Rules, no Right or Wrong way to create something,
Creative Licence entitles every author to create to please themselves first …
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, just because one person doesn’t
appreciate something doesn’t mean others will not enjoy what you do … However
if you feel you are not advancing, don’t hesitate to try some of the
suggestions you will hear, and see if it helps you to Refresh and Reinvigorate
your endeavours and ongoing journey in Photography.
My journey started 50 years ago in
Dalby, and the first live Judging influence was from one of your Members …
Beside his thoughts and ideas other members of the Dalby Club in those days
were also my Mentors … Where does Mentoring start and end … That depends on
you as an individual, as to when you open your mind to the advice given by
anyone who is willing to share ideas with you … I still enter my Images into
the Competitions of Two clubs, because I’m still wanting to hear what my peers
think about my more recent endeavours … Sometimes we can be too close to
something and miss something that is so obvious to a fresh pair of eyes and
mind … As with the title of one of Gerard’s Topics, “LISTEN WITH YOUR EYES”,
I welcome any feedback on any of my endeavours.
Through a long association with
members of Toowoomba’s Club, I’m aware of the Clubs unique passion for reading
Stories in an Image … That ability has been an Achilles Heel for me when
critiquing and have usually avoided incorporating it into my endeavours, so
ahead of time I’ll freely admit to having a limited Imagination for that skill but
have attempted to interpret some of the Images where I can on this occasion …
So I apologise if my thoughts along those lines may not be anywhere near the
mark of what the author intended.
Many thanks for your interest tonight
… Cheers … Bo B. Bob Britcher AFIAP AAPS PSQA

Free e book on photo composition.
Hi REDACTED
I have been watching a You tube live video on Adam Williams’ videos. He was interviewing Ignacio Palacios and Ignacio has a brilliant ebook for a free download. it is 188 pages on composition and it really is a beautiful book with wonderful photographs. I was wondering if you could put the following link on the TPS site so that members may download it. It is called 10 Ingredients of Composition Mastery.
I
would suggest you download it. Note that it is near the bottom of the page.
Thanks
Margaret
