Competition 3

Next week is the third competition of the season. This is a PDI (Projected Digital Image) with the theme's Within 20 miles of home and Open Mono.

We have had a phenomenal entry for next week’s competition with 101 entries submitted. I have never seen a three figure entry before! This does mean that I have had to cull both sections. It is just not possible for the judge to give that many images a fair appraisal in the time that we have. You should have received emails telling you which images have been cut (it will be the no3 image you entered). It’s unfortunate that we have to cull the entry but fantastic that you are all so enthusiastic about the competitions. Having reviewed the images the standard is as good as ever so I look forward to another excellent competition evening.

Sandra Dann - Sculpting Light & Atmosphere in Photoshop; Creative Techniques for Photographers and Digital Artists.

Sculpt light to help you shape mood, guide the eye, and add atmosphere; use Photoshop to transform your images into Digital Art storytelling

See how lighting choices influence mood and depth, and why small refinements in post-processing often deliver striking visual impact.
Explore creative approaches to building atmosphere and the emotional pull of light, and explore your own creative voice.
Understand the thinking behind each technique so you can apply it purposefully across genres, whether you work in landscapes, portraits, composites, or digital art.
Sandra Dann is an Australian digital artist and educator known for her atmospheric composites and a deep love for visual storytelling. Her work has earned Gold and Silver awards, but what matters most to Sandra is the process itself - the experimenting, the learning, and the satisfaction of seeing an idea take shape.
Today she teaches Photoshop around the world, sharing practical techniques that reflect her years of experience in education.

(Recording emailed automatically, valid for 14 days)
