great way to challenge yourself, focus
your mind and potentially take home some fantastic
prizes. Some of the UK’s top competitions can attract
tens of thousands of entries, so trying to ensure that
your image stands out from the crowd can be tricky.
To help increase your chances, we spoke to the judges
of some of the world’s biggest competitions, and have
compiled the best advice and tips.
Most competitions, owing to the effort involved in the
shortlisting and judging process, charge a fee to enter.
Therefore, it’s crucial to ensure your image stands a

wasting your money. The following insights may help
you decide which of your images are up to the task.

categories: Open, Youth, Student Focus,
and Professional. The Open awards
recognise outstanding individual images,
while the Professional categories celebrate

Outstanding Contribution to Photography
– this year awarded to Candida Höfer,
known for her large-scale, richly detailed
pictures of empty interiors.
This year 319,561 images were submitted
from more than 200 countries and
territories (a 40% increase on 2017).
A total prize fund of $30,000, plus Sony
digital imaging equipment, was shared
between the winning photographers.
Aside from the prize money, the
organisers aim to provide extensive
exposure to the winners, shortlisted and
commended entrants, and support new
talent via the Student, Youth and Open
competitions. Naturally, the Professional
programme rewards established artists.
Over the next few pages we bring you one,
or in Gianmaria’s case two, pictures from
eight bodies of work. Some of these artists
will be featured in future issues of AP.

road network, it was the link and trade route between
the towns and farmland.
Until about 50 years ago, mules had a prominent role

The Last of The Crooners
Portraiture, 1st Place
In days gone by, pubs all over London’s East End would
feature sharply turned out singers crooning their way
through a set of jazz standards at weekends, entertaining
audiences and keeping them in the pub. Audiences have
fallen over time, and now only the Palm Tree in Bow
continues the tradition, having hosted three guest singers
each weekend for more than 40 years.
Despite its rich culture, the Palm Tree is sadly now a lone
stalwart. These singers really are ‘The Last of The Crooners’.
The family-owned Palm Tree is famous for maintaining its
original warm East End atmosphere despite the impact of
gentrification, council pressures and the changing habits of its
clientele. After several years of asking, the pub finally allowed
me to document the many great characters who still perform
here, in a bid to capture this slice of history while it remains.

Mono culture
Photographers working in black & white often say that colour is a
distraction. When we remove colour from the equation, the rules of
composition, framing and lighting shift their parameters and require the
photographer to see the world differently. With everything pared back
we can focus on the graphic elements of a scene.
Light is a key factor. When black & white and atmospheric lighting
combine, the result is powerful. To hone your black & white skills look
at the work of monochrome masters such as André Kertész, Michael
Kenna and Sebastião Salgado. Toning is acceptable in this round.

advice
When to go
Mells is full of character
and charm and there is
plenty to see in a leisurely
half-day. Spring is a great
time to visit, as there’s
plenty of greenery and
flowers bursting with
colour. Early morning and
late afternoon will offer the
best light. The best view of
the village is from the top
of Knaptons Hill, accessed
by a footpath from Top
Road near the centre of
the village and no more
than a 10-minute stroll.

FRPS Statement of Intent

R M Gibbons
Fine Art category
I have always been drawn to the beauty of flowers and I admire greatly
the work of botanical artists. I can only wonder how they achieve such
fine detail and almost photographic representation with watercolours
and a brush. My panel, therefore, is my homage to the botanical artist.
My intent is that each of my images should resemble a watercolour
and for a moment fool the eye. In the construction of my panel I’ve used
a painter’s approach, with great emphasis on observation and careful
composition – spending much time slowly turning each flower or waiting
for the critical moment of development before recording the image.
Soft revealing lighting suggests a work created in daylight. A necessary
uniformity in background is relieved by frame edges unique to each
ARPS Statement of Intent flower to offer authenticity through subtle ageing and to separate each
image as an individual piece within the panel.

As a regular train commuter in to London, I am inspired by the
ever-changing seasons rushing by. Enthused by the opportunities
presented by mobile phone photography today, I challenged myself
to record at least one image a day that reflected my mood and that
of the landscapes passing by. Taking images through a train window
does not lend itself to clear precise images, so I used the tools and
processing ‘in phone’ to create an image that represented my
feelings about that day.

4 Do more on Import
The Import dialogue is the gateway into
Lightroom for your images, but it does so much
more than this. Explore the settings on the
right and you’ll find useful options to apply
presets on import, imprint copyright metadata,
add keywords, rename files and more. The
more we can do at this initial stage, the less
organising we’ll need to do later on.

1 Why organise?
Perhaps you’re just starting out
and building your image library, or
maybe you have a huge, disorganised
mess of folders, duplicate images and
garbled file names that would take
days to sort. Either way, now is the
time to get on top of your image
library. It’ll save you time and stress,
safeguard your images and allow you
to find whatever photo you need,
whenever you need it – ideal for
finding the right photo for any
competition you might enter.

6 Have a system
I use a star rating system. My
1-star rating is for photos I like, but
know require extra work - like an
HDR, composite or panorama stitch.
My 2-star rating is for standalone
images I think have potential; and
then I go through these again,
making my absolute favourites into 3
stars. I rarely use 4- or 5-star
ratings, as I find that any more than
three overcomplicates my system.

7 Structure your folders


When the Import dialogue pops up on insertion
of a memory card, choose the Copy option at the top
8 Rating your photos
Rating your images makes it easier to
identify, filter and find them later. There are a
and specify a location and folder to copy the images few options for ratings. You can either add a

need a complicated folder structure, so make folders choose a simpler Flagged (P) or Unflagged
with a short descriptive name and shoot date. (U) rating system, or go for colour ratings
(red 6, yellow 7, green 8, blue 9).

9 Use
Collections

image files are stored in
Lightroom, but the heart
of your Lightroom library
should be your
Collections and

Use Collections

12 No need for duplicates


Images can have multiple uses
and themes so it’s often tricky to
categorise them as one thing, and with
Collections we don’t have to. Images can
appear in as many Collections as you like
without the need for memory-hogging
copies of the file. So for example, a
close-up of a giraffe skin might appear in
collections for ‘Wildlife’, ‘Natural patterns’,
‘Favourite textures’ and anywhere else
that you fancy.

the A7 III is capable of producing more than adequate detail with one installed. At the time of GOLD

camera offers the comprehensive combination
of five-axis in-body stabilisation and Dual IS

The million-pixel Achilles heel


Carrying an oversized Micro Four Thirds
sensor, the GH5S has a lower 10.2MP
resolution compared to the GH5. This allows it
to have larger pixels, with greater pixel-level
dynamic range. That’s the reason the GH5S
offers 14-bit raw files vs the GH5’s 12-bit file.
The trade-off is that the GH5S is slower when
shooting a continuous burst of full-res images,
offering 7fps with AF vs 9fps from the GH5.
But it can be switched to 12-bit raw mode, in
which case you can get 8fps from the GH5S
with continuous AF.

We’ve tried our hardest to ensure that the information in this guide is as complete and accurate as possible. However, some errors will inevitably
have crept in along the way: if you spot one, please let us know by emailing aptimeinc.com. We don’t have space to list every single product on
the market, so we don’t include the most expensive speciality optics such as long telephoto primes. Before making a major purchase we advise you
to double-check prices, along with any crucial specifications or requirements, with either a reputable retailer or the manufacturer’s website.

Photo Critique

Final Analysis Roger Hicks considers…

photography. At one
extreme, snapshots
may be no more
than feeble reminders of
memories far stronger than
any photographic record could
be, though in all fairness
even indifferent snapshots
can often reinvigorate
memories recent or ancient
with a visceral immediacy.
At the other extreme, a
great photograph can be the
highest of High Art: a perfect
summary of some eternal and
indispensable aspect of the
human condition. Then again,
the same could be said of any
medium: writing can range
from What We Did On Our
Holidays to the most sublime
poem, novel or word-painting.
In some ways, though,
photographs between the
extremes can have more
dimensions than we might
reasonably expect. In
reportage in particular, a
picture such as this can be like
a memory of something we
never experienced and never

Roger Hicks has been writing about photography since 1981 and has published more than three dozen books on the subject, many in partnership with his wife Frances Schultz (visit his new website
at www.rogerandfrances.eu). Every week in this column Roger deconstructs a classic or contemporary photograph. Next week he considers an image by Pamela Littky.
