Youth Photographic Society is a member of Photographic Society of America (PSA) since Sep, 2020.
Every year, PSA conducts a Newsletter contest for its member clubs, councils, and PSA Chapters with an electronic or printed newsletter of one page or more, published two times a year or more. The contest for the year 2021 was open between 01 March 2021 and 01 June 2021. Any newsletter published after June 01 of the previous year could be submitted.
Entries are independently reviewed by two sets of three qualified judges. Awards are determined based on the ratings assigned by the judges. Content, layout, good use of space and photos, neatness, ease in reading, simplicity, and style are of basic importance in this judging.
Winning entries are awarded after the judging. Apart from overall contest winners, awards are also given for outstanding achievement in various categories such as Best Calendar presentation, etc. YPS took part in this contest in the ‘Large Clubs’ group (clubs with more than 75 members), submitting the Feb 2021 issue of “Dṛṣṭi” as its entry and came away with many awards in its kitty.

Since last year, photography enthusiasts have been restricted in avenues for photography. No photography outing arranged by the club, no company to go out and shoot pictures, no wildlife safaris, and no parks to visit, due to the restrictions posed by the ongoing scare of Covid-19 pandemic. This has allowed many of our members to explore avenues within their reach, including indoor photography, macro photography in and around their house, glassware, water droplets, and such. During this time, a session on ‘oil on water photography’ came as a much-needed session to open another path for enthusiastic members.
Continue reading Ravishing Refractions – How Did it Go!From the initial years of its formation, YPS members traditionally have been following the distinctions offered by FIAP, PSA, and RPS. There were a few members with IIPC distinctions also. Many other photographic bodies have emerged in the later years, including ICS, GPU, IUP, and MoL to name a few. Snice the year 2016, our own country federation FIP also has expanded its portfolio of distinctions. While most of these distinctions are straight forward and many YPS members have achieved them in the last few years, the PSA distinction path appears to be a bit confusing. Hence a ‘YPS Saturday Meet’ session was arranged on the eve of 24 Jul 2021, for the YPS members aspiring to go for PSA distinctions. Here’s a brief report on the session…
