Competition results for our third competition of 2023 - Blur and Open. Our judge was Mario Mirable. As we no longer advise scores we will only be presenting the award winners. We do still receive scores from the judge so if you would like your score please contact Tania, our competition steward via competitions@williamstowncameraclub.com.au and she will let you know.

For the purposes of this competition the set subject of "Blur/Panning" was defined as:

Blur: Intentional blur to convey movement. Panning: Method of moving the camera in line with a moving subject such as a racing car. This produces a blurred background but keeps the subject relatively sharp, thereby giving a greater effect of movement in the final image. Panning across waves etc is also acceptable.

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
