It's a good place to check out, if you don't know it already. Congratulations to the prize winners and runners up in the 2009 competition. The digital place-getters are displayed on the Photo Competition 2009 webpage?. This year, we're aligning our competition rules with the Federated Mountain Clubs photo competition, more or less. Winners in the various digital categories will, with the permission of the photographer, be entered in the FMC competition next year Digital Categories
There is one open category for prints.
Entrants may make three entries in each category. To keep the competition event within the time constraints of clubnight, only the better digital entries will be shown, along with the digital category winners and runners-up, and the print entries. Images which were taken before 1 January 2008, or have been entered into previous TTC photo competitions, are excluded from entry. Please name all entries: category, title, your name. Digital entries, clearly labeled, can be emailed (see below). Photo CDs and Prints, well-labeled and packaged, can be given to Peter Barber at a meeting. The closing date for entries is Tuesday 5th October. Digital photographsDigital photographs should be in high quality jpeg or in tiff file format, and must be clearly titled: category, title, your name. Jpeg files only can be emailed to ttc-photo-competition [snail] ttc [period] org [period] nz PrintsThe minimum size for prints is 8 x 12, or equivalent surface area (A4, 210 × 297 mm, 8.27 inches x 11.7 inches, etc.). Smaller prints are excluded. The cost of getting prints made from negatives, digital files or slides is not high at Wellington Photographic Supplies, and you can hang it on your wall permanently! Prints should all be mounted on cardboard so that they can be pinned up. If you want to enter a print, please feel free to email or phone, but hand the entry in closer to the closing date of the competition The judge will select the images to be shown on the night, a prize winning image and runners up from each category, and an overall prize winner. A little will be said about strengths and faults of each image displayed. With these long winter evenings now is a good time to look out your best shots. The competition is a chance to find out how good your images are, and get some hints for taking better ones. The competition is great stimulus toward getting more "into it", by reading books, buying a better camera, or learning about digital photo editing. There is no time like the present! The quality of your camera, lens and sensor makes a lot of difference to the results, and cropping or enhancing images on your computer can be an absorbing and rewarding hobby. Any queries?
