Great Photographic Challenge

This is an annual event where club members gather at a specified place and are given a list of 8 subjects to photograph on the day. What's the catch? Members can't use their own equipment, but are given the use of a cheap fixed lens compact camera which is loaded with a roll of 24 exposure film. This is a challenge to see what you can come up with using the most basic of equipment. At the end of the day, all cameras and films are returned to Reg, who will arrange to get the films processed and returned to members at the next meeting. The idea is to choose the best shot of each subject to be entered into a special competition. The 6 x 4 prints are entered as is, with no re-printing or manipulating of the images allowed.

This year's Great Photographic Challenge is to be held at North Adelaide, meeting at the Piccadilly Theatre at 1.30 pm. Cost is $11 per member, to cover film and processing.

On Tuesday April 21 the Great Photographic Challenge will be judged, each photograph will be given a score out of 10, and the person who scores the most points in total will be awarded the Great Photographic Challenge 2009 trophy.
