I was asked to be a substitute judge in a photo contest for the Photo Society of Chattanooga. The PSC sponsors a student contest every year. The local winners are sent on to a regional competition and then to the national Photo Society of American competition. I don't know who I was a substitute for, but I thank you. This was SO much fun. The entries were great.
Each photograph was judged separately, on its own merits. Scores were given for Impact, Composition, and Technique. There were different categories. The three judgest didn't consult - just marked score sheets separately. The results were tallied. There were ties in two categories, and the judges did get to talk about the images while we were trying to judge again to break the tie.
It was so great to "see" the photographs with these criteria in mind. And the young folks are SO imaginative and creative. It's just a pleasure to see these young minds at work.
Margaret and John went up to Knoxville to see the Lady Vols softball team play Team USA (the Olympic team). Team USA won, but it was a close game, and they enjoyed it. The weather was lovely, and they enjoyed sitting out in the sunshine.
And a fun Saturday was had by all!
Today's photo is a budding maple leaf in Charleston.
