Senior Club Competition Winners January 2022

Michiel Duvenhage from Bloemfontein Camera Club is our January winner!

Michiel, congratulations on your winning image – Geelvink

Michiel says:

Photo was taken at Geluksdeel water level hide close to Bloemfontein during the breading season.

A lot of dominant masked weavers were looking to stake their claim. I previously saw the cue before a fight and when I saw the same cue, I was waiting for the fight to begin and within a split second it was all over, thanks to my Sony A1 and Sony 200-600mm lens I was able to freeze this moment in time.

Our 1st runner-up is Eddie Reynecke from Krugersdorp Camera Club with “Highland dropwings pair”

Our 2nd runner-up is Rudi Pothas from Pretoria Photographic Society with “Life in Technicolor”

Thank you to the judges:

Geoff Feldon – Westville Camera Club
Marleen Le Grange – Independent
Melanie Loubser – Wildlife Photography Forum

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.
