huga Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) It's that time of year again :) APPA judging will be on from Fri 13th to Sun 15th of September. The PMA trade show is on too. Free entry if you pre register: http://www.pmaaustralia.com.au/ APPA judging schedule: Watching the judging is such an eye opening experience and is a great way to learn how to improve. It's strangely addictive too. For the first time, I am going down to see it in person, but it will be live streamed also. I love awards time :D Edited September 5, 2013 by huga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 How many have you got entered and in what catagories Huga? Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 I have one in wedding and two in portrait. All three earned me silvers at the state awards, so I am hoping for the same at nationals :) It's really just an excuse to have a big catch up and drinks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCresties Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Thanks Huga - I'm due to go out to a lake tomorrow and do a bit of bird photography, weather is looking dodgy, so this could be a good alternative if it gets rained off :) Good luck on your entries can you show us your photos after the judging?

huga Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Enjoy :) I'm probably not going to see any of tomorrows, I don't arrive in Melbourne until 3pm. I don't have anything in on Saturday, but will go in to watch some. And I have two in portrait on Sunday. Hoping to be *ahem* well enough to sit through most of that.

huga Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 I still see and shoot with Alicia every now and then. I will catch up with her again this weekend :D Cc this is my first time being down there for the event, but I've heard it's pretty epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Just back from the best weekend everrrrrrrr :D I ended up with one silver from my three prints. Judging was tough and has changed somewhat, but for those who were interested, here are my entries: APPA 76 QPPA 81 (silver). APPA 77 QPPA 82 (silver). APPA 83 (silver!) QPPA 80 (silver).

Kirislin Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 congratulations. I really like the first one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Thanks Kirislin :) That one got talked up at QPPA, one judge saw a story in it and brought everyone else up :) No such comments over the weekend though, unfortunately. Still, at least my non awarded stuff still scored at the higher end of professional standard. The judges this year weren't afraid to give 50s and 60s out.

CrazyCresties Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Congratulations :D I love the last one - great tones and composition. Does the kitty have a shaved belly too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Kitty was recently desexed, so yes :) and is on a scratching post, in a cattery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
