Art of photography on show
THE photographic section at the Cairns Show is introducing some new changes to the competition.
The competition is supported by the Cairns Photographic Society (CPS), who provide important advice, manpower for the set-up of the display, as well as organising accredited judges to ensure entrants get the best possible experience.
Club president Richard Foord said this year there were some new categories as well as an expansion of the junior photographers section.
“A dedicated section for action/sports has been added for our constantly active community,” he said.
“Also newly introduced are two special classes that will change every year to keep up variety. Each year there will be a class for a specific photography technique and one defined on a titled theme.
“This year the technique section is about aerial photography and the wonderful perspectives that aerial views and the increasing world of drone photography are opening up to us.
“The special titled theme is doors and windows to help our community artists express a specific subject rather than composing around traditional photography genres.
“In addition, the junior photography section, includes an all ages under 18 years, special themed class as well. Junior photographers can compete here with the theme of 'My Tropical Home'.
“With today’s technology making this medium accessible to virtually everyone, this is a great opportunity for individuals to have fun showcasing their perspectives of the world.
“The best camera is the one you have with you.”
