AIPP 2013 NSW Professional Photography Awards

The judging for the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers 2013 NSW Professional Photography Awards was conducted in Canberra last weekend. I was very pleased to receive 5 x Silver Awards in the landscape section.

Silver Award – Oxers Lookout Karijini NP

Silver Award – Gloomy Day near Queenstown, New Zealand

Silver Award – Gnarled Gum on the edge of a billabong near Alice Springs, NT Aust

Silver Award – Gnarled Gum on the edge of a billabong near Alice Springs, NT Aust

Silver Award – A Tangled Mind – Gnarled Gumtree roots near Alice Springs, NT Aust

Later I learnt that the last print would be disqualified as it is the same topic as one of the previous trees. I did not notice this had occurred as there was some time between first round of selections and subsequent edits. To be honest I am not overly concerned as at least the judges had thought it worthy of a Silver award.

I have taken some of the judges comments on board already & have started “tweaking” a couple of images for the Nationals (APPA’s). The 2013 APPA will be held in Melbourne in September.
