This months Adjudicator is Rick Shapka, here is the brief info we were given before our submissions were due.

by completing diplomas in photography at Focal Point, as well as
art history at UBC. In addition, Rick completed workshops with a number
of master photographers including Joe McNally, Jay Maisel, Jean Miele,

traveling extensively to make pictures. His recent photographic journeys
include Arizona, the Palouse, Moab Utah, Vancouver Island, New
Brunswick and Namibia.
He photographs the landscapes, the people and has a particular interest in HDR and abstract photography."First up is the Assigned topic which is "textures". Fortunately I had this one ready to go from my instagram account, originally shot by the trusty Nikon 1 V1 and filter applied via instagram.
Asigned Texture,"Red, White and Blue", score 7.5 |
Then on to the exhibition section. I choose two images from my most recent shooting, since I was in a big hurry! Both from the Nikon 1 V1, and yes I do have a DSLR but the little Nikon is just so wonderful ( please don't cancel them Mr Nikon). No fancy edits done to these images, basic Raw conversion only.
Not entirely sure I put them in the best category but well...whatever!
Landscape "Lady of the Lake", score 7.5 |
Portrait, "Night Floating", score 7.5 |
