Senior Club Competition Winners February 2024

Hits: 870

Kathy Kay from Hibiscus Coast Photographic Society is our February winner!

Kathy, congratulations on your winning image – Jackal striving to make the catch

Kathy says:-

This image was taken Cubitje Quap water hole in the Kgalagadi. The harsh climate and lack of food have resulted in the Black Backed Jackals learning different means of catching prey. This Jackal had learnt how to stalk and catch sandgrouse at the waterhole.

Shutter speed: 6400
Aperture: f4
ISO 200
Nikon Z9 body and 180-400 lens.

Our 1st runner-up is Michelle Cloete from Midlens Fotoklub with “Dancing with the stars”
Our 2nd runner-up is Ettienne van Niekerk from Edenvale Photographic Club with “Cape Vulture Landing”

Thank you to the judges:

Chris Nel – Regional Director – Central Societies (Free State & Northern Cape)
Francois Venter – Regional Director – Northern Gauteng & Limpopo

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

Click here to download instructions on how to upload your entry onto Photovault

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.
