2 3 A WARM WELCOME TO OUR ANNUAL PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION I would like to extend a very warm welcome to our photographic exhibition. It seems to come round quicker each year or is that I am getting older! A big thanks goes to the Exhibition Committee, and Jean in particular, for organising this event which involves a lot of work. Thanks also to the members who have helped in various ways, in- cluding putting the displays up, and who will be helping with teas and other duties over the dura- tion of the exhibition. Thank you also to the Judge Nat Coalson ARPS for giving his time to judge an increased number of both print and PDI entries, the whole process taking the best part of a day. We are back at Christchurch again this year because it is an excellent venue for our exhibition with plenty of space and lots of light. Don’t forget the teas and coffees that are available through- out Friday night and all day Saturday. There are also delicious cakes on sale, some homemade. So please try them. Our friendly volunteers will be waiting to serve you. We are displaying images from other clubs as well as our own. As well as the print display there are also projected digital images (PDI) to be enjoyed while you have a drink. I hope that you will agree with the judge on the high quality of all the images displayed. Finally, if you like what you see. perhaps you may consider attending one of our meetings when we meet again in September. We are a friendly club who welcomes you whatever your knowledge/experience of photography. Please speak to one of us if you want more information.

The standard of entries was very high, which made the selection process simul- taneously challenging and enjoyable. With nearly 800 entries and limited display space available, I had to make some difficult choices—I and the exhibition committee all wished we could have included even more of the submitted works. But, in the end, I'm pleased with the final selection and believe it represents well the high quality photography being done by the entrants. In particular, the photographs that received awards and commen- dations all exhibit a great deal of visual sensitivity and a strong sense of design, which are crucial elements of expression within a successful work of photographic art. I congratulate each of the photographers whose work has been accepted and recognised, and encourage all passionate photographers to intently pursue the never-ending practice of continually honing your craft.
