Surviving Job Fair Season

Haven't had a chance to attend the camera club recently as we've been job-hunting. Attended the Bangkok job fair in January and the Boston on in February. Forced to do some sight-seeing while there.

Boston through frosted windows.

Caught some sights in my sleep-deprived, 12-hour layover in Munich.

WINTER IN A SUNLESS CANYON

Gold Award

Critique: A bit dark on the right but the sign gets some light in there. The center could have been saturated with colour a little more but that's my personal preference. Overall, pleasing pattern image.

MERCHANTS ROAD, KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE
Gold Award

Critique: Initial impression was that it was a little too busy but the coloured areas pull it in. Graininess suits the image. Little bit of a quibble on the base but overall nice image.

ETOSHA NATIONAL PARK

Gold Award

Critique: Initial impression is that it’s a bit overexposed but it seems to work here to convey the heat of the plains, picked up by the drooping heads of the zebras. Also, nice bands of different pastel colours.

SPRINGBOK TEAM
Gold Award

Critique: Panoramic format works well with this image. The front ground is out of focus but the key areas are sharp (the faces and horns of the animals).

Critique: Whites too white, image a bit disjointed.
