Another month has past and so it is time for another results session from the camera club. The topic this time was "portraits". The judge was a professional portrait photographer dealing primarily with children which was just as well as mos
t of the entries were of smiling babies and grinning toddlers. The 2 big tips were to get the light on the eyes right (as well as making sure of sharp focus) and to apply a vignette selectively. These points were repeated ad nauseam and to be honest the whole critique became a
bit tedious, especially when the best shot of the night (by a very long way) was only given an acceptance. Still, of the 4 shots I submitted only 1 fell by the wayside. The shot of the kebab seller was accepted, Amy in the desert was given honors and my self portrait was awarded best shot! Next fortnight is the results of the 3rd open so stay tuned...
