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!

October 2024 Camera Club Competition

I only had 1 competition for the month of October, for PACC.  It was the final competition for the year.

My best image was 'Kardinal Reflections' with a score of 9 out of 10, gaining a Merit in the Open Subject.

Kardinal Reflections - 9 out of 10

The subject for the October competition was 'Our Port Adelaide' with the winner of this subject receiving the Donna Hutchinson Memorial Trophy.  I love entering this subject - I spent most of my younger years in the Port Adelaide area and it is so nice to go back and visit and see the area through 'fresh eyes'.

Here are two images I did enter this year, they both scored an 8 out of 10.

Harts Mill at Night - 8 out of 10

Troubridge Ramp - 8 out of 10

time to reset and charge the batteries - the PACC resumes club meetings on 4th February 2025.
