Photo Competition

Each year QBW has a photo competition. In 2009 the competition went digital, no more prints. Entries need to be in by the November Club meeting each year and the winners are announced at the QBW Christmas Party in December.

There are 3 categories:

     Pictorial: Photographs of any broad natural scene. Pictorial photographs can include for example creeks, seascapes, waterfalls, mountains, rocky outcrops, and clouds

    Nature: Photographs depicting flora or fauna, excluding domestic animals. This category should also exclude evidence of man. Examples of nature photographs are birds, animals, native flowers, forest, fungi, reptiles, insects etc

     Club Character: Photographs showing one or more people participating in a bushwalking type of activity and can be humorous as well as serious.

5 entries allowed per category (limit of 15 in total).

Images must have been taken on a Queensland Bushwalkers Club event since the previous November meeting.

Photos must be saved as a JPEG image file with no compression. Make them the maximum resolution from your camera and they will be resized to suit viewing.

The images may be produced from a digital camera or a scanned image of a print or slide.

Photos must be submitted on a CD or DVD, or USB Memory Stick (named, which can be returned). Please do not email your entries.

Each entry photo needs to be titled as follows:

Name_Title_Location_Category_Image Number.jpg

eg. Evelyn Campbell_MtNorman_GirraweenNP_Nature_1.jpg

Photos must be titled this way or the entries cannot be identified.

Manipulating Photos

Do you want to know how to manipulate photos but don't know the difference between a pixel and a pretzel, then help is at hand.

First you need a graphics manipulator and one of the best available for free is Irfanview, a small, fast and compact graphic viewer for Windows. It is totally free for non-commercial use.

So download IrfanView from http://www.irfanview.com/ and install it on your computer.

Tutorials on how to use IrfanView are available at:
