Looking forward to summer? Looking forward to camping, fishing, cycling, boating, paddle boarding, kite flying, volleyball, cricket on the beach, catching a great concert or maybe just lazing in the sun?
If you are, then be sure to take your camera, catch the moment and enter the “Summer Fun” photo competition, put together by Mahurangi Matters and The Camera Shop in Warkworth.
First prize:
The fabulous Nikon Keymission 360 worth $750 – a camera that captures not just the view in front of your eyes, but the entire world around you, either as a still photograph or in high-definition video. The Keymission 360 is compact, lightweight, and waterproof and its images are readily shareable via smartphone. The perfect camera to share your stories with your friends.
Second prize:
20x30inch photo canvas to display your favourite image.
Third prize:
Printing of 100 photos from your camera or phone.
The competition is free to enter and entries can be submitted online at thecamerashop.co.nz or dropped into The Camera Shop, 35 Queen Street, Warkworth. Files must be high resolution.
Entries must be received by January 18 and must illustrate the theme “Summer Fun.” Winners will be announced in the January 31 edition of Mahurangi Matters.
Professional photographers Ian Macdonald and Tony Enderby will judge the competition. Ian started New Zealand’s first photography gallery, Real Pictures, in 1979 and has taken photos for the BBC and major conservation campaigns. Tony is renowned for his underwater photography and has been published in numerous books and magazines.
Tony’s advice for competition entrants: “There’s always lots of light in summer and photography is painting with light. So use that light.”
