Remote Judging
Part of camera club life is obtaining reviews and critiques of our work in order for us to grow and improve. Using PSQ judges is one of the ways this may be achieved. For clubs which are located too far away to access PSQ judges, remote judging might be an option.
Remote judging is done principally by Zoom.
How does it work? The club either sends the judge a hyperlink to the images on the club website, on MyPhotoClub or in Dropbox. The judge then uses the Zoom to provide feedback directly to the club members at home or if meeting at a club, a written report is provided for someone else to read to members.
The Judges Exec is also promoting the use of Skype to allow ‘live’ judging/critique of images. The Club forwards the images to the Judge (via Dropbox, CD, Memory Stick) prior to the required judging time. The Judge previews the images and prepares a presentation for the live Skype on the night. Several judgings have been done successfully in this way.
Zoom allows Judges in remote areas to contribute ‘live’ from anywhere. Conversely, remotely located Clubs have the benefit of a ‘live’ judging and the ability for a question and answer session during or after the presentation. An internet connection is required at the Club meeting location for Zoom to be utilized.
