Junior Club Competition Winners March 2024

Alan King from Knysna Photographic Society is our March winner!

Alan, congratulations on your winning image – Ghosts of Leentjies Klip

Alan says:

This is a composite of two images – a dhow from Zanzibar and a heavily tweaked version of a long exposure sunrise surf image. The base image was taken at sunrise at Leentjies Klip on Wilderness Beach in March this year and then adjusted in Photoshop. I used the Liquify filter to create the texture and then adjusted the colours and tones to suit. I am fascinated by the interplay of breaking waves, rocks and the colours of sunrise and sunset.

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.
