Cape Camera February 2024

Winner PDI – Open (Advanced) Venice Dawn by Ruth Scholtz (25). The exposure is well handled
with strong detail in the clouds. The lead-in lines of the hand rails (from both corners to the lamp
post in the centre) work well, and so does the slow shutter speed which created a tranquil mood on
the water and caused a blurry effect on the gondolas. A higher shutter speed would have made the
gondolas sharp and stand out more which would have been distracting.

Winner PDI – Open (Advanced) Architectural Harmony by Joyce Goldschmidt (25). Placing the differ-
ent lines, shapes and textures into a single coloured blue background is very clever and most at-
tractive. The single curved element in a composition of mostly diagonal lines brings balance to the
image and makes it stand out.
