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.

Camera Club Results - MLPC

In October, MLPC held their annual exhibition with a display of each member's favourite photos.

 

These photographs were judged by two Judges, and a Top Image was selected from each Member.

 

There was a total of 88 images from 11 members on display at The Mawson Centre, Mawson Lakes.

 

The judges' chose the following image as their 'Top Image'

 

I confess, it is one of my faves too!   I love taking photos of birds; rainbow lorikeets in particular.
