Competition 5 - Movement & Open
1st - B Grade: Open Digital - Last Hurdle © Wade Buchan
The judging for our 5th competition "Open" & "Movement" was again held via Zoom. There was a time we thought we'd be back in our club rooms by now, COVID-19… it just keep coming at us. We are grateful to our members who continue to stick with us during this time and enjoy seeing your work.
Our judge, Paul Robinson sent us written commentary ahead of time and Paul's words were delivered by Tania. Paul was a very generous judge, offering extensive critique and citing relevant references for other photographers our makers may choose to investigate.
If you missed the Zoom meeting it was also live-streamed to our private Facebook group, you can review the video there if you are a member.
