| HOW TO WIN PHOTO COMPETITIONS | 02 Common or Uncommon? What type of photographs impress the judges? That depends on who the judges are, what the judges do, and where they live and travel. A few years ago I was showing two audio visual presentations. One depicted the hill towns of Italy and France; the other concentrated on outback Australia. |
 Castelnuovo. Italian hilltowns are great for Australian audiences, but may not be so interesting to Europeans. |
| When I showed the presentations to Australian audiences, they loved the Italian hill towns. In comparison, when I showed the presentations to an audience in Italy, they loved the Australian outback best. Judges are the same. Photographs of unusual or special subjects which are not generally seen generally will have more appeal than the commonplace. This is human nature. Of course, something that is unusual for you may be common for the judge – you simply can’t know everything about the judge. And similarly, a photograph of the commonplace presented in a different or special way can astound the judge simply because it is so common! Peter Eastway www.betterphotography.com |
