Both my camera clubs, MLPC & PACC had competitions in March.

My images for PACC Competition did not do so well this month  :( only getting 6's & 7's

Early Morning Fishermen - Scored 7 out of 10 - Mono

Instagram Worthy - Scored 6 out of 10 - Open

Light & Shadow - Scored 7 out of 10 - Mono

Red Bottle Brush Bloom - Scored 6 out of 10 - Open

I was very disappointed with my scores from this PACC Competition.  It just goes to show that two different Judges can view the same image and have very different opinions!

Now to prepare for April Competition for PACC which will be Nature + Open.

February Camera Club Competition Results

My camera club, PACC, held the first competition for the year and the subject was People/Portaiture & Open.

I am not much of a 'people/portraiture' person, so I entered most of my images in the 'open' category.

This is my best image on the night - scored a 9 out of 10 and 1st place.

Excelsior Sunset

 

123 in 2023-75: Piece of history
 

History - excerpts taken from "Heritage South Australia" - EXCELSIOR - Mutton Cove
The screw steamer Excelsior was built in 1897 by Gourlay Brothers of Dundee, Scotland.
The Excelsior was originally registered in Sydney (1897) and in 1908 was owned by South Australian flour millers, John Darling and Sons. By 1912 the Excelsior was owned by the South Australian Farmers Union Cooperative (registered in Adelaide) and remained under their ownership until 1933 when it was sold to the South Australian Harbors Board. The steamer was converted to a coal hulk, lightering coal to the steam powered dredges working in Port Adelaide. As diesel-powered dredges took over from the coal-fuelled ones, the Excelsior was laid up, eventually being abandoned at Mutton Cove, on the northern end of the Lefevre Peninsula, in 1945.
The remains lie embedded in mud, east of Outer Harbor. The rusting hull shows little sign of salvage. The bow is intact but sections of the stern have collapsed.
