03 / December 2020
DEAR MEMBERS
Chairman: David Wolstencroft 083 229 8066 davewol@gmail.com
The final newsletter for 2020. How time flies! It has been a challenging year for EPC. COVID was one aspect which I think, from my perspective, we managed to work around, and still kept the meetings going and all of you involved and interested. Members join and members leave, such is life, but the sudden loss of our dear friend John Coumbias was a shock to us all. He has left a hole in our hearts and a legacy that shall be remembered for years to come. I could also state the same points as before, such as the success of the salon, the good standing of the club and our new members, but I would rather focus on the future. We have learnt lessons this year and I am sure we have lots more to learn. It is how we use those lessons that makes us better and stronger. We will be formalising as many outings and activities as we can for 2021 with some exciting ideas in mind. CERPS will also take place next year (unless shock horror, COVID is still ruling the roost in October next year). With your co-operation and input, let us make EPC the best it can be. We all have the potential to make EPC “the” club to be a member of, and a proud member at that. Let’s get there together and enjoy our photography amongst friends and family. The committee would like to wish you all a wonderful festive season, filled with the joys of everything that make this time of the year a time to look forward to. Count your blessings, shoot to your hearts content and return safely in 2021. Drive safe if you are travelling, look after yourselves, and be the best version of yourself you can be. Warm wishes, Dave and the EPC Committee

Written by Clare Appleyard
HANLI S M I T Anyone familiar with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs will know that, as humans, we crave recognition. It is a significant contributor to our self-esteem and an essential steppingstone towards the all-important need of self-actualisation, which encompasses characteristics such as learning and creativity. We search for recognition in many directions, often on social media, where, as photographers, we share our work, hoping for the likes, comments and compliments that will give us the personal recognition we crave. But, whilst the compliments and back-patting might make us feel good, it gives us no real indication of how good our work is on a national or international scale. The real benchmark of how good your photography really is can only be gauged when you open yourself for critique from an internationally acclaimed panel of judges, true professionals who live and breathe photography. For two years now, the African Photo Awards have strived to identify the continent’s most outstanding photographers across a number of categories, including wildlife, portraiture, fashion, fine art and landscapes. Entries from across Africa were assessed by 10 judges from 7 countries and, in each of the 9 categories, a mere 10 finalists were selected. One of EPC’s best photographers, Hanli Smit, had 3 of her images shortlisted in the final Top 10 selection. “Bride in Gold” and “Homage to Tretchikoff” were finalists in the Portraits category and “Avant Garde Fashion the New Normal” was a finalist in the Fashion category. At the awards ceremony on 26th November, sponsored by Fujifilm, ProPhoto and Q-Lab, Hanli’s photo “Avant Garde Fashion the New Normal” was chosen as the overall winner in the Fashion category, and “Homage to Tretchikoff” was chosen as the overall winner in the Portraits category. In addition to winning the two categories in which she was a finalist, Hanli was recognised as the African Photographer of the Year, 2020, a remarkable achievement! Hanli walked away from the awards ceremony with R100,000 worth of prizes including a trip to Photo Paris 2021 (flights, accommodation and entrance fees), and a brand new Fujifilm X-H1 mirrorless camera with an XF 16-55 F2.8 lens. We asked Hanli to walk us through the conceptualization of her three finalist (and two winning!) images, to get some insight into her creative genius. Here’s what she had to say:
13 / December 2020
Homage to Tretchikoff “I’d found some wonderfully glittery gold fabric that was just begging to be used. Robyn is one of my favourite models and she is always open to new ideas and styles; we have created some great work together. When I bought the gold fabric I wasn’t sure what we were going to do with it, but we ended up creating the turban on the day. I spray-painted some chunky jewellery with gold paint and initially, I felt there wasn’t enough contrast in the picture. Fortunately, I remembered that on the colour wheel, the opposite colour to gold is purple and my friend and fellow artist, Laetitia Kenny, had gifted me a hand-painted purple backdrop, which proved the perfect match. There is always a striking result in studio when you use two opposite colours on the colour wheel. The whole combination of the purple and gold reminded me of the famous purple lady painted by the Tretchikoff, the King of Kitsch. It was in all the middle class homes during the 60’s and 70’s!”
14 / December 2020
Bride in Gold “Shot in the same session as “Homage to Tretchikoff”, “Bride in Gold” was created after I painted Robyn entirely black with the black make-up. My plan with this image was to create real drama with the contrast and lighting and I think it worked out very well. My studio is a Pandora’s Box of accessories and props and I always have loads of fabric in my studio. I’m always buying Alice bands to use as head pieces and in this instance, I made the crown myself by tying black plastic cable ties over the Alice band. I then sprayed the whole piece with gold paint and spray painted old bulky jewellery the same colour.”
15 / December 2020
Avante Garde Fashion The New Normal “I created this image digitally during the first two weeks of lockdown, when we were confined to our homes and had to make do with what we had – we couldn’t get together to shoot with any models. The original images were photographed when I put a bald cap on my model, Robyn’s, head. We carefully blended makeup over the edges of the cap to make it look real. This image of Robyn reminded me of a painting of Elizabeth Woodville, Queen of England from 1464 – 1483, as she had very little hair. Taking inspiration from this painting, I created a collar from an old book to give the image a feeling of the 15th Cenury, and digitally added it to the photo of Robyn. With the spread of Covid-19 and the mandatory wearing of masks, it was natural to then add a mask to the photograph, a reminder of what has become fashionable in 2020.” Once again, we congratulate Hanli on her remarkable achievement. What has become clear to me is that Hanli’s artworks aren’t created by accident, they don’t just happen. There is a tremendous amount of planning, creating, conceptualising and experimenting that goes into these award winning images, together with decades of experience in studio lighting, model posing and post-shoot editing. Hanli, you really are an inspiration to all of us at EPC. Thank you!

GAVIN DUFFY I am a relatively new member of E.P.C., having joined in September 2019. This was prompted by me having the need to broaden my photographic competence and learn from fellow photographers. Linda Carter, a family friend, had joined the club a few months earlier, and her favourable feedback induced me to join up. I initially started with photography in my early twenties around 1970, using film and then 35mm slides, which then took a backseat for a lengthy period due to career and family commitments. My resurgence and interest commenced with the advent of digital, and the purchase of my first digital camera, a Minolta 3mp, around 2004/5. My main photographic interests are nature and wildlife, but also enjoy sports and travel photography. I travelled extensively on business during my working career, which motivated an interest to return to some of the interesting places that I ‘passed through’ and revisit these with my wife and a camera the second time around. My wife and I have travelled extensively since retiring a few years ago, and have been fortunate to visit Russia, China, Cambodia, and Vietnam, as well as Europe and the United Kingdom. We have also undertaken trips to our local game Reserves, including Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Kenya. Three of our most memorable travel and photographic experiences have been: Observing and photographing the Northern Lights [Aurora Borealis] in Northern Norway; A photographic trip around Svalbard in the Arctic circle on a Russian icebreaker, to photograph local wildlife which included Polar bears, Arctic foxes, Walrus and Reindeer; and, A trip to the Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya to observe and photograph the annual Wildebeest and Zebra migration. These trips were a ‘once in a lifetime’ experience which we were extremely privileged to be part of. What has been quite humbling, and a significant learning experience to me since joining, is the high level of photographic talent and expertise within the club, and, the willingness of fellow club members to freely share their expertise. As consequence of the above, and also due to the judging and critique/advice provided on my own images submitted on club nights, has motivated me to focus on improving my own skills and capabilities going forward. Also having been given the opportunity to view the different genres covered by members has sparked an interest in broadening my skills in Macro, landscape and astro/night sky photography. My most used equipment, mainly Nikon, now includes two camera bodies – D850 and a D500,and a selection of lenses to cover my respective areas of interest – Prime 300 f2.8, zoom 70-200 f2.8, zoom 24-120 f4,macro 105 f2.8, zoom 150-600 f5.6/6.3, and wide angle zoom 14-24 f2.8.

NATASHA BIRD 5th International Circuit Camera Obscura 2020 John shared last years Camera Obscura entry form with me so I entered it and was happy with the results I achieved. This year has been challenging with Covid Lockdown and my creativity has been at an all time low. I have found it an ongoing battle to stay motivated. As a result I wasn’t sure that I had sufficient images of a decent standard to enter into the 2020 salon and the hefty salon price tag of just under R600 wasn’t to be scoffed at either when one hasn’t worked for a few months. Camera Obscura is an International Circuit salon so all your images are judged by three panels, Serbia, Belarus and South Africa. Each judge scored the images independently and submitted the scores online where they were collated in Serbia. Results are then posted online and every author receives a scorecard where you can see how each country’s panel rated your images. Last year my scores were very unbalanced with one country appreciating them more than the other two. This year I was far happier to receive a more balanced scorecard, out of the twenty submitted images I received 13 Acceptances from Serbia, 15 Acceptances from South Africa and a mere two from Belarus. Ok I thought – where is Belarus and who are these photographers? Unashamedly, I did a quick Google search and discovered that Belarus is a landlocked country situated between Poland and Russia. Oh drat! Those darn brilliant Russian photographers reviewed and rated my “lockdown offerings”…little wonder they found my entries lacking. Well, I am entering this salon again next year and I will aim for a more balanced scorecard. This means making a concerted effort to shoot what I love and to ensure that I am constantly putting in the hours to hone my Photoshop skills. I do not enjoy post-editing and do very little to enhance the RAW files and I know I need to work on this mindset. When I reviewed the salon winning images across all the juries I am humbled that my images even made the acceptance cut-off. There is so much beauty in our world and no lack of exceptionally creative and talented artists to capture that wonder. Two of my images received FIAP DIPA Honorable mentions, “I wish this year would end” and “Reading by Candlelight”. “Mama’s Boy” received a FIAP Salon Honorable mention.

12 Tips for holiday photos When you’re on holiday you will often see things that will make you think, wow that would make a great photograph. But actually capturing a decent picture of what you see can be easier said than done. If you want to improve your travel photography and come back from your trip with better pictures then keep reading. Here are 12 tips on how to take great travel photographs when on holiday.
1. Capture local elements Most destinations around the world will have unique elements. Such as landmarks, unique vehicles, clothing, food, people, culture and other interesting features. To capture a really good holiday photograph then think about what makes your destination different, and then try and include that in your picture. This might include framing your scene so that it includes some of these elements. For example, in London you may want to include the Changing of the Guard, Black Cabs or Double Decker buses in the foreground of your pictures and then a landmark in the back.
2. Shoot in different light Lighting can have a massive impact on how nice an image will be. Such as taking pictures around sunrise or sunset might result in a photograph with beautiful and colourful light. If you share your images on social media you may find pictures that have this kind of lighting tend to do really well.
3. Capture the main attractions Everyone likes to take pictures of the main attractions when travelling, such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Tower Bridge in London and the Colosseum in Rome. These are often the killer shots that will also make for great engagement on social media. To capture better images of these think about your composition, framing, and also consider taking pictures at night when the building may be lit.
4. Photograph the lesser known attractions As well as the main attractions, try and capture some of the less obvious ones too. These may be smaller buildings, interesting bridges, markets, secret spots and other things. As you explore you may find interesting things to shoot, or instead do your research in advance. Such as looking online at articles on what to see and do, asking your hotel and locals, or even friends and family who may have previously visited the destination. For popular places, you may find articles that tell you where all the best photography spots are or just search “best photography spots in [destination] on Google or another search engine.
5. Take pictures of details Some destinations have incredible details that really help identify that destination or make it extra special. These may be things such as carvings, monuments, building facades or interesting shops. For example in some middle eastern countries they often have beautiful shops selling colourful lamps, rugs and other special items, whilst in Vienna you’ll find impressive statues and monuments.
6. Use reflections and puddles Not many people want to travel and have a wet and rainy day, but actually you can get some of the coolest images during these types of conditions. Using puddles and reflections in your pictures can aid your composition and create a really interesting shot. You can also take pictures with colourful umbrellas which can make a cool image.
43 / December 2020
7. Take Pictures at night When taking pictures at night, use a tripod and a low ISO setting (if possible). This will ensure your picture isn’t grainy and much higher quality. If you don’t really want to take tripod shots, then try investing in a camera that can capture good low light photographs, such as the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II. Some phones are also good at capturing low light photographs without the image quality being degraded too much. To try and avoid blur and handshake when not using a tripod then put your phone or camera on a hard surface.
8. Show crowds and atmosphere Taking pictures in crowded places can be a nightmare. But even this you can sometimes use to your advantage when capturing travel images. It can help as you can show the atmosphere and the mood of the destination. If you don’t want lots of people in your image then arrive early in the morning, or try and be patient and wait for a good opening/quiet moment to take your photo. Another option is to use a strong ND (neutral density) filter and a tripod to blur the scene, this gives a nice sense of motion too, probably find the camera will need to take a slightly longer exposure in low light but that is expected.
9. Take photos of food One of the best things about travelling is some of the delicious food you’ll get to try. A lot of which you may only be able to get in the particular destination you’re visiting. To take photographs of your food use a wide aperture or “portrait mode” on your camera. This will help isolate your food with a blurred background. Another option is to take the image from above looking down. Finally, consider getting a table outside or near a window in natural (but shaded light) which will help you capture a much nicer image without horrible harsh shadows.
10. Capture events Many large cities will have interesting events and festivals throughout the year. These may provide the perfect opportunity to capture the culture of the destination. Such as Holi in India, Notting Hill Carnival in London and Carnival in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. When taking pictures of festivals consider taking pictures from high perspectives to really capture the crowds, wide shots, as well as closeups of the people and entertainment.
11. Put yourself in the photograph Putting yourself in a travel photograph can be a great memory, and also nice to share with your friends and family. The best way to capture such images is to find a nice frame and either use a tripod or friend to capture the picture for you.
12. Photograph from high viewpoints High viewpoints can provide some of the best perspectives of a destination and will allow you to capture fantastic photos. Many destinations have caught onto the fact that many people want to see a place from up high and as a result have created observation decks all over the city. So, when travelling do a little research to find out what kind of viewpoints your destination offers and make sure you don’t miss out.
