Competition results for our first competition of 2023 - Monochrome and Open. Our judge was Jean Philippe Weibel. As we no longer advise scores we will only be presenting the award winners.

The forecast of a hot and windy day did not deter fourteen photographers (and one supportive partner) from descending on Ballarat. Thankfully the wind kept the temperature in the mid to high twenties for most of the day but it did make hat wearing and holding the camera steady difficult. We gathered at the Ballarat station and soon dispersed, looking for interesting compositions. Brian’s hat went flying off his head and its rescue was captured by Karl, illustrating his street photography prowess.
Our first outing for 2023 saw 24 Members and families head to Lavandula Swiss Italian Farm in Shepherds Flat.

Now on to the awards...
Competition results for our sixth competition of 2022 - Food and Open. Our judge was Naomi Sherman. Naomi previously presented to us on the subject of Food Photography and therefore was the perfect choice for this competition's set subject matter.
Tonight we left the meeting room behind to head into the city for a bit of a night walk in the city.
We met up at Siddeley Street Car Park for the start of our adventure.

On the weekend of September 2nd–4th, 30 Members and family headed to Benalla for the only weekend organised for the year. After two years of uncertainty due to COVID, it was great that the planned weekend was not cancelled or interrupted in any way.
We competed again in the annual Knox Photographic Society Monochrome Interclub Competition. Unfortunately we were unable to supply print entries which impacted our score quite a bit... the results follow.
