GISBORNE CAMERA CLUB TO COMPETE FOR BLEDISLOE CUP

At Thursday night’s meeting of the Gisborne Camera Club, Mr. Alan L. Gordon judged and commented on the entries for the “Landscape” competition. This had attracted a good number of entries, although it was regarded by photographers as a difficult subject. The competition resulted: Advanced Class: R. H. Pearson, 1; R. G. Witters. 2 B. Dallas, hon. mention. Junior Class: C. H. Andrew and R. D. Forbes, equal. 1; C. H. Andrew, hon. mention.

As the club has decided to compete for the Bledisloe Cup this year, members were requested to submit rough prints of possible entries to the committee within a fortnight. From these any considered suitable will be chosen and the member advised so that he may make an exhibition print. A final choice of the club’s entry, which is limited to 12 photographs, will then be made. A very enjoyable and instructive evening was spent in Mr. Auton Low's darkroom, where all the stages of enlarging and developing prints were explained and demonstrated by two operators. The use of different grades of paper and of varying development times were among the points elucidated.

The next competition will have as its subject “Table Top.” Entries will close at next meeting.
