Junior Club Competition Winners April 2019

Midlens Fotoklub Susan Otten Midmorning snack

Congratulations to Susan Otten from Midlens Fotoklub!

She is our April winner with the image “Midmorning snack”

“Almost every morning, after dropping the children at school, I weapon myself with my camera and do a walk in the garden. Since I started Macro Photography, I am always looking for insects where ever I go. I noticed a few woolly aphids, and searched again for something. I noticed there was a Robber fly hiding on a lily leave. I quickly kneeled and as I took the photo, I saw that it was munching on a Green Bottle fly. I only had time to take one photo before it flew away.

I used  a Canon 7D II with a Canon 100mm Macro lens. I used a flash with diffuser as well as an extension tube. My settings were 1/250 sec f11 ISO 125 focal length 100 mm.” 

 

Our 1st runner-up is Matthijs Ravensberg from Port Elizabeth Camera Club with “Barn owl”

HOW DOES THIS COMPETITION WORK?

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

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

Instructions on how to upload your entry onto Photovault can be downloaded here  doc

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