Congratulations to Rob Heffer from Port Elizabeth Camera Club
Rob is our January winner with “House in the mountains”
Rob wrote:
“I took this image in northern Iceland which is just a fraction beneath the Arctic Circle… it was obviously snowing a lot and we were on much higher ground amongst the picturesque mountains. This little house seemed to be beautifully perched on top of the hill with the backdrop of the mountain broken by the fluffy white clouds that somehow seemed to give depth to the image, which was completed by the 2 rows of trees in the foreground and which carried your eye nicely through the image. Landscape photographers always think that you need to have a wide angle lens to capture a scene, however, this image was taken with my 70-200mm lens at 200mm, which demonstrates that this is not always true and a reason why you always need to carry a full range of lenses for scenes like this one. Settings were f11 at 1/100th sec at ISO 64 on my Nikon D850 camera body”
Our 1st runner-up is Coralie Fourie from Bloemfontein Kameraklub – with “Slinky” – –
Our 2nd runner-up is Arnold Bester from F-Stop Fotografiese Vereniging with “Black Ant”

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