Herewith the results of the January 2016 Honours judging session.
Honours Judging feedback
Congratulations to all our successful Honours applicants – your hard work has paid off.
To those of you who weren’t successful take a careful look at your panel and see which images received credits and which did not, try to analyse why some worked and others didn’t.
There are all sorts of factors which come into play in an honours application and these include presentation, technique both shooting and post processing, visual awareness and communication.
A good way to look at the panel is to look at the thumbnails – these help you to assess differences in tone and in exposure, variety in subject matter and interestingly enough bad post processing such as overdone vignetting is often very apparent in the thumbnail view.
It is also very important to understand that the standard does increase as you move upwards from the LPSSA, to the APSSA and then the FPSSA, it is not just a matter of more images. Many applicants are in too much of a hurry and apply before they are ready. If you took a number of times to achieve your LPSSA, don’t immediately go on to the APSSA, your are unlikely to succeed unless your work has improved. The same is true when applying for the FPSSA.
There is nothing wrong with starting with an LPSSA, it is an honour to be awarded one and you would be better off submitting an LPSSA and gaining some credits than struggling with the APSSA. If your standard has not quite reached the next level why not apply for another honour at the same level and start working towards your Versatility award (Vers).
Thank you to our team of hard working judges and behind the scenes personnel, a lot of hard, intensive work goes into making sure the system runs efficiently and they all give of their time freely, thank you.
