PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY
This week’s meeting of the Christchurch Photographic Society was given over to the judging and viewing of the prints entered for the championship competition. The judge, Mr C. Lovell-Smith, commenting on the prints, said that he looked at them from a painter’s viewpoint. He was pleased to see the great variety of subject and approach in the prints submitted. Photography appeared to have a greater facility than painting in portraying the unusual viewpoint and small sections of subject matter; on the other hand its lack of colour contrast made essential a great deal of care in the presentation of tones, particularly in the dark tones. Titles could help a picture; they should be short and apt. A tendency he noticed was towards long, prosaic titles. The president, Mr F, L. Casbolt, presented the following awards.— The Loveday Cup (for highest aggregate of three prints): Messrs F. L. Bowron and N. France 215 points (equal). Champion print (Mr Wiltshire’s prize): Mr Matt. Grant.
