Welcome to the Oshawa Camera Club online photo judging main page for the 2025 ACC JiTs.
Note: Before proceeding, please read the Category Definition at the top of each judging form. There are 9 individual categories.
JiTs have the option of completing all 9 categories to build their skills or pick and choose any of the categories of your choice. You will review completed categories with your mentor.
All entries have been vetted and are considered in category.
The images can be sorted in any order in each category. We do not display the divisions for judging.
Main Judging Deadline
We ask that you complete your scoring no later than __ 9:00 pm, Sunday, March 23, 2025 __ in order to give us time to prepare the results presentation for our club meeting. After the presentation at the club meeting we will send each judge a full report of scores and comments by all three judges so that you can compare your results and comments with the other judges. We will send you a link to view all of the images at your convenience.
Viewing standards
It is recommended that when judging, you use a desktop monitor with a minimum resolution of 1920 pixels wide, 32 bit colour.
You have confirmed that your monitor meets these standards and that it has been recently calibrated using a colour calibrating device.
The very first time, you click on a thumbnail, the first image displayed will be the colour calibration screen. You can also access this image by clicking on “Display Test Image” at the bottom of the image preview window.
You should be able to see all of the greyscale boxes, from white to black, the white dress should not be blown out and the colours should look normal.
Judging Form
Please note the first time you access each category in the judging interface, it may take 2-3 minutes before you can use the interface as the images are cached on your computer. After the first time they will come up quickly.
In the left hand column of this scoring form, for each image there is a thumbnail and the title. The last column is a dropdown option box for your score.
When you click on an image thumbnail, it will open the image in a separate window and you should arrange the two windows so that you can view the entire image within the image window and the scoring form in the other window. The scoring window is flexible and may be narrowed substantially if necessary.
The images are sized at a maximum pixel dimension of 1920 wide and 1080 high. This is the maximum size that they will appear on your monitor.
Please do not zoom to enlarge them and ensure there are no scroll bars in the window in which the image appears otherwise you will not be viewing the entire image in that window.
Recommended viewing distance from the monitor is 24″.
Scoring
We support the O3C Scoring model and rating structure.
Images assessed for Impact, Composition and Technical Execution criteria.
Rating guideline with half point allowance:
- 5 or less = Image has significant flaws
- 6 = Image is a record shot but average in all criteria
- 7 = Shows signs that maker has made the image and excels in one of the criteria
- 8 = Image has impact, good story, no technical flaws
- 9 = Superior technically, high impact, strong story
- 10 = outstanding technical, impact, composition, plus real strong story, originality or creativity. Judge bonus points.
Comment Requirements for JiTs
For JiTs, to assess your skills and improve your commenting skills, we would like you to make comments on at least 18 images in each of the 9 categories:
- Each image has a field to write comments.
- Select 6 entries where you gave a low score (5-6.5)
- Select 6 entries for a medium score (7-8) and
- Select 6 entries for high scores (8.5-10)
- In a case where you do not have enough high or low score then pick any images where you feel you can make a quality comment that would help the maker improve the image.
- For practice, you may comment on additional images if you want and these can be reviewed with your Mentor.
- It’s also good practice to comment on genres /subject matter that you are not experienced in to get you comfortable assessing those types of images.
Sorting Columns
Before Sorting – Do a Save All to lock in scores. For reviewing your progress, you have the option to sort entries within the columns by clicking on the arrow in the heading. This can be useful to sort the given scores from highest to lowest. Clicking again will reverse the order form low to high.
Please note:
Each “Save All” button saves all unsaved items. A red outline appears around these boxes indicating which images you have changed but not yet saved. It is recommended that you save often (every few images) so that you don’t lose any unsaved entries.
- A small box at the bottom left of your screen keeps track of how many items you have completed.
- You may also sort the images by using any of the available sort buttons at the top of the columns
- Reloading the page will revert it to the original alphabetical Title order
