News
The last outing on our calendar was for a City Walk. It was decided to hold the walk in the Docklands area which was a great decision. There were not a lot of people as there would have been in the middle of the City.
Competition results for our fifth round of competition - "Scapes: Land and Sea including people" and Open. Our judge for this competition was Eugene Dopheide.
Despite a very wet and weather affected Friday, the weekend at the Grampians proved to be a great weekend. The new WhatsApp group created specifically for the weekend, offered lots of advice, support, info about wet roads, places to eat, places to go and shoot, and photo sharing. It proved to be an affective way to communicate to the whole group. Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
The “Make It Happen” grant submission to Hobsons Bay City Council was successful in funding the Williamstown Camera Club 60th anniversary celebrations.
Upcoming
Workshop: Paper Bag Challenge
A fun activity where teams are presented with a mystery object to photograph as creatively as possible. Props, lighting, backgrounds, models etc are encouraged. Bring your camera gear, a laptop (if you have one) and any props you think might be handy.
The images will then be presented and critiqued with a winning image selected by all in attendance.

Judging: End of Year Awards & Dinner
Join us for a night of fun as we award our winners from the year. Awards are given for aggregate point winners and for the images of the year.
For the new members, we have spit roasted meats and salads brought into the Clubrooms. We have found that this works really well as it gives members a chance to chat prior to the EOY Awards presentations. You can bring along some wine/beer and some of the members bring a dessert to share.
Price for the meal is $18.00, please pay into our bank account by November 22nd, with your member number and name as reference: eg: 013Malbon
