Selectors' Comments
The selectors thanked Douglas Hamilton and his team from
Edinburgh Photographic Society for their monumental logistical
exercise in coping with 3,000 prints received, from which
about 200 were to be selected for display in the exhibition.
Commenting on the entries in the exhibition, they wrote:
"Each exhibition reflects current trends in
photography. It was interesting to note that the vast majority of
the prints submitted had been digitally produced. This has both a
positive and a negative outcome. On the positive side, it was
wonderful to see such a wide range of beautifully produced images, many of
which we suspect may not have been produced, even only five years ago.
The quality of the better composites was simply breathtaking.
By way of comparison, we found a dearth of
traditionally printed monochrome work, but those that were submitted
tended to be of a very high standard. Rather surprisingly a large
number of entries featured figures (and cats!) but high quality
traditional landscape work was in relatively short supply, many of the
landscapes submitted having been over-sharpened or over-saturated at the
digital printing stage." |
