It’s time for mini little competition for April/May in co-junction with our monthly theme ‘At Home’

We’ll have a little prize for a random entrant Show us your favourite images by sending an email to wpsimpact@gmail.com or by using the #wpsathome by the end of May.
We are back from lockdown to bring you our April/May issue of Impact.
This issue is all taking opportunities available to you at home to improve your photography and resources to help you through the weeks ahead.
In this issue of Impact magazine:
- What do when stuck inside
- Images from our 12hr B&W Competition
- Sports Photography 101
- Using forced perspective to create unique images
- Use your camera to stream/video conference
- Free resources to educate and inspire.
Our first competition of the year took place on the 22nd of February. The challenge was to take a photo or series of photos representing one or more themes. Entrants had 12 hours from finding out the themes to take, edit and submit their images.
The competition was open to all photographers in the Greater Wellington Region, and images needed to be taken within this area.
The overall winner of the competition was Jack Driver who took home a brand new Canon 200D Mark II from Wellington Photographic Supplies and Canon New Zealand and a selection of other wonderful prizes from Splendid, Okko and Photography by Woolf.
Other winners included Holly Neill for the best overall set, Alison Viskov, Zuyi Woon, Holly Neill and Jack Driver for winning the best image in each theme.
We would like to once again extend a huge thank you to our wonderful sponsors – Wellington Photographic Supplies and Canon New Zealand, Okko Pro Filters, Splendid and Photography
by Woolf.
Many thanks to our competition volunteers – Glen Innes for organising sponsorship, prizes and our judge, Bruce Girdwood for judging and Donna Jennings, Raymond Cho, Shannon Doyle and Mel Keith for the work they also put in. The amount of effort put into this was immense.
In response to the latest Covid 19 updates, all meetings until further notice* are postponed
At the moment, this affects all events through March and April. *We’ll re-assess the situation at the end of April with advice taken from government agencies and update our calendar then.
That’s all for now. Stay safe, wash your hands, drink plenty and keep that social distance. Keep an eye on the government COVID19 website for safety information.
