Senior Club Competition Winners Nov 2025

Chris Joubert from Randburg Photo Club is our November winner!

Chris, congratulations on your winning image – Webbed feet Ducklings

Chris says:

This image was taken early one morning at Randpark Golf Club. The most challenging part was getting these little guys in the same focal plane and close together. The light that morning was just perfect. I was also fortunate that the ducklings were on the upper level of a small weir, so I managed to climb down to the lower level, where I could position myself to achieve a lower angle and get the shot I wanted.

Lens model: Nikkor Z 180-600 f/5,6-6,3 VR

HOW DOES THIS COMPETITION WORK?

This is a PSSA monthly competition where clubs enter their monthly Senior winner onto Photovault. Appointed judges select the winning image.  The monthly winner gets displayed on the home page of our Web site for the duration of the month.  

All images must be original and must not incorporate elements produced by anyone else. By virtue of submitting an entry, the clubs must certify all the work in the entered image as their club member’s own. The PSSA Director of Competitions has the right to ask for the RAW files.

Frequently we do require high resolutions of these images as PSSA use them for Print Exhibitions to promote PSSA as well as showcasing the work being done around the country.

At the end of the PSSA calendar year (30 June of each year) the Senior Club Competition Winning Image of the Year is selected.

 
 

HOW TO UPLOAD YOUR CLUB’S WINNING IMAGE TO PHOTOVAULT

For the Senior Club Competition Winner of the Month, a club representative (ideally the Chairperson) submits the Senior club winner via Photovault at www.photovaultonline.com.
