Howick Trans-Tasman Cup
The Trans-Tasman Cup has officially started, ALL members are encouraged to enter images, photo’s are to be taken between 1st Sept and 30th Sep 2022 and uploaded by the 7th of October.
Subject: In and around your home Photographs to be taken in and around your home with the focus of the photograph to be on any item within the bounds of your property. That is, you cannot take a photograph of anything outside your property; so, no pointing the camera over the back fence etc. The subject of your image can be absolutely anything, within the rules of copyright, from the dog playing in the backyard, to a set-up for something creative, to your favourite garden space or room etc. Images must be taken in September 2022 only.
So get your creative thinking caps on and get capturing in and around your home.

Graham Burstow
In Honour of Graham Burstow, the Committee have ushered in a new monthly award for members to achieve called the “Graham Burstow Award – Judges Choice – Mono Image of the Month. This will continue to the end of the year, and commencing in 2023 will then attract an additional 2 points to the winner.
We have also put together a page on our website dedicated to Graham which shows a number of his images that he’d entered into our aggregate competitions.

We would like to preserve the memories of Graham and His impact in our life and photography. If you have any photo’s of Graham or any video’s you may have taken of his talks, please head over to here to upload them. This will stay open until the end of October for now.

End of Year Competition guidelines now finalised
The Competition is now open, and ready for your entries in the usual members section of the MyPhotoClub Website.
Eligible entries:
Members are permitted to submit up to four images using any image entered into the Monthly Club Competitions from January to November of that year.
Note: Alice Black and Graham Burstow winners from the aggregate competitions MAY be entered into the end of year competition categories.
Non-Eligible entries:
Images can not be entered into multiple sections (EG: Open and Creative, or converting a colour image to mono and entering in both).
ALL other images are not eligible to be entered, including Images entered into previous end of year competitions.
Other:
Prints can be submitted, however they will be judged against digitals within the same category. Prints will be judged based on the physical print, not the digital representation. Images entered into the aggregate competition can be re-edited and submitted into the end of year competition. This will give members the opportunity to put into practice lessons learned throughout the year and action on judging feedback.
