ANNUAL TWO FROM FOUR PDI
TWO FROM FOUR – PDI
• Set Subject
• Two PDI images must be entered
• Choose two subjects from four, enter one image from each set subject
• Judged by Class
This competition replaces the annual PDI competition it is designed to stimulate and focus our members talent and broaden horizons.
The judge for this competition has selected four set subjects according to their expertise and interest from a list of over forty subjects provided by the Club. The advantage of asking the judge to choose these topics is that they will be wholly familiar with them and therefore the judging will be balanced and focused.
Members can choose two subjects of the four, entering one photograph for each.
For 2026/27 our judge is Simon Street. Simon has selected four ‘set subjects’.
• Black & White.
• Floral Abstracts.
• Patterns.
• Street Scenes.
Simon has been kind enough to write the following about the set subjects
“How I view the world may be best done by looking on my website https://www.simon-street-photos.com/ images and/or downloading any of the 27 free eBooks of which:
• 24 are Mono eBooks. Here you will see I am interested in drama, people and strong compositions that best work in mono. I enjoy documentary but I rarely see story telling in the SPA.
• 1 is a floral abstract eBook. Here I found the world of macro amazing to explore the shapes of cacti in close-up.
• 2 are abstract pattern eBooks. Here you will see me using post processing to bend lines and create deeper blacks.
• 4+ are Street related eBooks. Here you will see different processing styles and low viewing angles, most with people, some not.
I love all of these subjects well beyond what I have managed to discover so far. I hope the free eBooks might give inspiration – just a starting point. These days I love colour and mono in equal measure.”
You must enter two images. Our usual PDI format is required.
