Camera Club Competition Results - February 2026

First competition for the year was for PACC - Set Subject was 'All Creatures Great & Small'.

 

Following some previous critique from a judge for a similar image, I made a few tweaks to my processing and composition for this image.

End of Year Photography results

We attended the end of year presentation night for Port Adelaide Camera Club Incorporated last night and I got a few surprises!

 
I got a 'Merit' for the Club Aggregate Award (4th Place) and a 'Merit' (4th Place) for the Print POTY (Photograph of the Year)

Best part of the night for me though, was being presented with the Donna Hutchinson Memorial Award for my image 'Port Adelaide - A work of Art' for 1st Place in 'Our Port Adelaide' Print competition.

 

 

 

Donna was a well loved member of PACC and passed away quite unexpectedly in 2022. Here I am with Donna's partner, Mike ....... I like to think Donna would be happy for my win! 
 

 

Feeling quite optimistic about embarking on my 14th year with PACC.
