Images Entered into the Following May Be Reused in
Internal Club Competitions
There are three critique nights a year refer to the see the
programme for the dates.
Open subject
Members may enter two images
Critique by class
Critique by an external judge
Prints and PDI may be submitted for critique.
As these images will be potentially used in internal
competitions all the AI rules still apply.
These are not competitions, but a guest judge will talk
about your submission and offer positive feedback. These critiques are
essential whether or not you want to enter competitions, as it will help
develop your skill as a photographer and is an important step in the learning
process.
The judge will be asked to think about the challenge of a
good title. Have you succeeded in choosing a good title for your entry having
considered the following
Do
consider carefully the title you use - will the judge understand it?
Will
it help the judge to judge the picture?
Will
it mislead the judge into trying to judge something which is not in the
image?
A critique is only two hours long. The club aims to show all
the first priority images and as many of the second priority images as possible
within the critique evening. However, it may not be possible to show all the
second priority images. Members can learn independently by trying to guess what
the judge may say about image that is not their own.
