Our shots this month included people, events, and our local urban landscape.
And the winner is …
Virginia Simpson-Young’s image ‘It Was a Dark and Stormy Night’ was chosen for its strong atmosphere, the colour and lighting, and a slightly spooky feeling, amongst the laneways, trees and recognisable house profiles of Glebe.
Judith Paul’s shot, captured during the Sydney Marathon ‘Some of Us Like to Watch’ was considered very atmospheric, with the contrast in lighting. One judge commented on the contrast of the runners in motion with the static figure, and another felt the strong red gave the scene a slight air of menace.
The judges also admired the beautiful light and image of Glebe undergoing change, with echoes of the industrial past, in Phil Vergison’s ‘Early Morning Sydney Fish Market’.
As the competition mostly receives outdoor images, it was also great to see a bright face in Dolls.
The closing date for next month’s photo competition is 15 May. Send your entries to photo-comp@glebesociety.org.au.
