Multiple Exposure – Competition March 12th

Following our inspiring and educational workshop on Multiple Exposure (thank you James, Judy and Ray) it was great to see the number of members venturing into this creative genre and exciting to see the variety of applications and techniques employed.  Although many of us had felt challenged by the idea of creating Multiple Exposure images, Set Subject entries significantly outnumbered Open category images and two thirds of entries were prints!  This trend sets BPC apart from many other clubs where prints are giving way to PDI’s (Projected Digital Images).

Here are some of the different interpretations of the subject.

Helen Whitford – Hope

Di Gage – Deep Sea Folklore

Vicki Kramer – Alternate Dimension

James Allan – Sam the Man

Bruce Nankivell – Cosmic Walk

Ray Goulter – Born Again

Judy Sara – Dragonfly

Meredith Retallack – Through the Arch

Paul Hughes – Benjy on the Beach

Steve Wallace – Pnohm Penh Statue

Kerry Malec – Leisurely Walk on Crumpled Paper

Helen Whitford – Goddess of Nature

Vicki Kramer – Double Trouble

James Allan – Cool Gucci

Paul Hughes – Going for a Spin

James Allan – Front and Side

Our judge, Keith Seidel, shared many useful tips and suggestions, carefully explaining the reasons for the scores he gave.  He appreciated storytelling, good composition and creativity when well executed.  The most common  flaws he noted were distracting elements such as bright patches or lines leading the eye away from the subject or out of the frame. It was encouraging to see the awards were spread among 10 of the 17 members who entered the competition.

Come back in a few days to see more of the Top Prints and you can find the Top PDI’s here.
