SUMMARY:Print Competiton 2025: Christmas Edition
DESCRIPTION:Full Competition details: \n\n\n11th of December 2025 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm\nCategories are: Open | Environmental Portrait \nClosing Date for Entries: 27th of November\nPresentation Night: 11th of December 2025 at the TTC Club Rooms\n\nEnvironmental Portrait Definition: \nAn environmental portrait is a portrait executed in the subject’s usual environment\, such as in their home or workplace\, and typically illuminates the subject’s life and surroundings. By photographing a person in their natural surroundings\, it is thought that you will be able to better illuminate their character\, and therefore portray the essence of their personality\, rather than merely a likeness of their physical features. It is also thought that by photographing a person in their natural surroundings\, the subject will be more at ease\, and so be more conducive to expressing themselves\, as opposed to in a studio\, which can be a rather intimidating and artificial experience. \nThe emphasis should be on creating a portrait that tells the viewer something personal about the subject: their job/hobby/passion/etc. The subject should be engaged\, that is they should know that they’re having their photograph taken. \n\n\n\nWhen submitting your prints please ensure: \n\n\nThe prints are adequately protected i.e. with card/portfolio/bubble wrap\nAll items submitted with the prints are named i.e. photo boxes\, cardboard etc. (these will be returned to you with your print)\n\n\nEntry Specifications: \n\n\nLimited to 2 images per member per category\nImages must not have been used in any previous Wellington Photographic Society competition\nEach image is to be entered into one category only\nYou must be a current financial member of the Society to enter\nMatting of entries is optional. Maximum mat side – 16” x 20” (406mm x 508mm). Not framed. If the image is not matted it is recommended that images are printed with a white border for display purposes.\nImage size – any size within the mat dimensions\nPlease note your Name\, Subject (Open\, Black and White)\, Title of the image and a contact number on the back of your print (In case we need to get it back to you afterwards)\n\n\nEntry Rules \n\n\nAll elements must be the work of (or have been created by) the photographer (entrant).\nThe use of stock photography\, computer-rendered or third-party content (including skies\, borders or textures) is prohibited.\nAll content and images must be from original exposures made within 24 months of the entry closing date. This includes all composite elements of an image\, such as backgrounds\, skies\, textures and borders.\nImages captured\, retouched\, digitally edited or printed over the duration of a workshop\, seminar\, tutorial\, or similar\, where the primary focus is for education\, are ineligible\, irrespective of whether it was under the direct instruction of the presenter or not. This rule only applies to attendees of workshops\, tutorials and educational/training events. Instructors\, students\, emerging members\, and attendees of photo-tours where the primary focus is not educational\, are not restricted. If you have any questions\, regarding the entry or the rules please let us know.

SUMMARY:From Boots to Dragons
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a timed photographic adventure from the heights of Mount Victoria to a legendary dragon’s lair. \nBeginning at the Tararua Tramping Club\, we’ll stroll downhill along footpaths with sweeping harbour views\, colourful houses\, heritage buildings\, and plenty of Wellington character. Along the way\, you’ll tackle creative\, slightly cryptic photo challenges designed to spark imagination rather than speed. \nNo technical expertise required — just a camera (or phone)\, comfortable shoes (the route will cover 2-3 kms\, mostly downhill)\, and a sense of fun. \nAdventure awaits… and the dragon guards the finish line at the Welsh Dragon Bar. There you can finish with your chosen molten gold refreshment. \nThursday 23rd of February: Doors 7pm\, Meeting Starts 7.30pm

SUMMARY:Simon Woolf - Wellington Moods
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to welcome Simon Woolf\, as our special guest speaker at the next Wellington Photographic Society meeting. \nSimon is one of New Zealand’s most respected and experienced photographers — he has earned multiple national and international qualifications and awards\, and has exhibited and judged widely both in Aotearoa and overseas. Simon’s lifelong dedication to photography has also seen him play significant roles in photographic organisations and education in New Zealand. \nPhotography is in Simon’s blood. He carries on the family legacy begun by his father\, Ronald Woolf\, who acquired one of Wellington’s oldest photographic studios (originally Spencer Digby\, established 1934) in 1960 and built it into one of the capital’s best-known and most esteemed businesses. Over decades\, Ron’s work — and now Simon’s continuing vision — has documented countless people\, places\, and milestones throughout Wellington and beyond. \nSimon also has a long and special history with the Wellington Photographic Society\, holding Life Membership\, and engaging with the club through presentations\, workshops\, and judging over many years. \nHis latest project is his beautiful new photography book\, Wellington Moods — a curated collection of his favourite black-and-white images celebrating the city’s character\, light\, landscapes\, and people. The book captures Wellington in all its moods. \nPlease join us for what promises to be an inspiring evening as Simon shares his passion\, stories\, and photographic insight. \nThursday March 12th\, Tararua Tramping Club\, 4 Moncrieff St\, Doors open 7pm\, Members of the public are welcome to attend.
