Rule of Thirds

This comp was published in the Newman news I was so excited for the person that won.  First of all the Rule of Thirds was a challenge the challenge being can you take an image that represents the Rule of Thirds.  There were some great shots and much debate about if some of the images represented the Rule of Thirds or if they were just nice images.  The comp was not the usual popularity contest that every one could vote on but was instead voted on by professionals within the group.

The winner of the comp was Dave Curtis who found out while on holiday to Bali (Lucky Dave).  The image of the famous Lions Park Emu perfectly represented the Rule of thirds with the eye of the emu on two intersecting lines and its necks following one of the Vertical axis.

Red could mean so many things in a comp, and the Pilbara Photography Group showed many forms of Red it was a very popular comp and members of the group loved the varying interpretations that were presented in the competition.   The winning image was taken at the amazing Hand Rail Pool by Rusty Baker.  Rusty is a regular entrant into competitions and always has a high standard to work.  Well done Rusty we all look forward to seeing more of your images in future comps and challenges.

Chillax the Theory of chilling out and Relaxing comp

Chillax is a combination of words chilling and Relaxing.  Its important to always do a bit of both especially in the Pilbara where we do work those long hard hours.

The images were great in this competition and travelled Australia and the world to find the images.  The Winning image by Normandie Meyer one of the pro Photographers.  Normandie said it was taken in Paternoster, Western Cape, South Africa on a family holiday.  The long photo was cropped and looks wonderful.  Well done Normandie your Medellin will be sent to you once they are made.
