April 2020
With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing venues to close and people to self-isolate, Fremantle Camera Club needed to adapt the way that the club ran its monthly competitions while restrictions remained in place. The committee decided that members would meet online via Zoom. Instead of the normal digital and print open and set subjects, the format was changed to digital-only colour and monochrome open competitions.
April 2020 was our first online competition and it was a great success with the format allowing the guest judge to give detailed input on how to improve the digital images by using Lightroom to adjust images.
About the judge
The guest judge this month is Nick Melidonis. Nick is a Master Photographer IV and a triple recipient of the AIPP Australian Landscape Photographer of the Year. Among others, he is one of Australia’s leading photo educators and runs commercial training workshops and seminars Australia-wide on creative and fine art photography, travel, Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and Lightroom.
Three of his great passions in life are photography, travel and teaching and he is very fortunate to have made those his life’s vocation. The exhilaration and sheer joy of experiencing new landscapes, wildlife, people and cultures in some of the world’s most scenic and wild locations has kept Nick travelling for most of his life. Nothing pleases him more than to share those experiences with like- minded people and it has led to photo and cultural tours to Greece, Borneo, Africa, Spain, Indonesia and Iceland.
