Make It Your Own
Once again we had a very enjoyable and amusing evening, where our members were able to show their unusual manipulation techniques. There were 16 members, and one visitor, in attendance via zoom, with a total submission of 18 entries. There was certainly a good deal of imagination shown, which highlighted how differently we see images and what they can convey with a slight tweak here and there. Rob kindly projected each image, and everyone voted on their favourites, out of a very diverse range. Both experienced software users and those who were new to the concept produced some excellent results, some of which were very amusing.
After a very close judging session, the winning image and runner up were selected as follows:
Winner – Celia Buckley – ‘Bicycle Lights’
this was created from the original image:
Runner up – John Nalaskowski – ‘Ozzy the Octopus’
this was created from the original image:
Congratulations to Celia and John, and also to all members who produced some amaFollowing the competition, discussions continued regarding post processing and the techniques used. Khurrum kindly showed how he had used layers and other processing techniques to achieve his final image, which was very useful and informative.
We would like to say a very big thank you to all those members who produced some lovely images for us. Grateful thanks to Rob for projecting the images, and Mike for keeping score, and to all our members for continuing to support our lovely club.
