Junior Club Competition Winners Apr 2023

Petri Banks from Midlens Fotoklub is our April winner!

Petri, congratulations on your winning image – Loer

Petri says:
This was my first attempt at portrait photography. My beautiful wife was my patient model bearing with me as I tried to figure out light position and settings.

Equipment and settings:

Fuji X-H2S @ iso 160, 1/250
Fuji 50-140 @ 140mm F8
Godox V1 speedlight at 1/8th power in a 80cm godox softbox
I had a Godox V860ii @1/128 behind her to separate her from the black background.

Our 1st Runner-up is Letmari Dreeckmeier from Magalies Foto Fun Club with “4×4 is nie vir sissies nie”

Our 2nd Runner-up is Madeleine Erasmus from Kroonstad Fotoklub with “Hoe gaan ons die probleem oplos?”

Thank you to the judges:

Anton la Grange – George Camera Club
Peter Hardcastle – Swartland Fotografieklub
Kittie du Plessis – Camera Club of Johannesburg

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.

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

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.
