5 members from the Landscape special interest group met on the foreshore at Werribee South on Sunday. After a lot of rain the evening was fine and we got some good photos.

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.

Now on to the awards...
At our recent photography club meeting, Neil Anderson shared his expertise on the why's and how's of creating photo books. These books serve as timeless keepsakes, perfect for preserving cherished memories of adventures, celebrating life's big moments, or offering meaningful gifts during special occasions.
Competition results for our sixth and last round of competition for 2024 - "Negative Space" and Open. Our judge for this competition was Mark Bloothoofd.
Thanks to all members who entered this round of competition.
Several members of WCC enjoyed an outing to the Australian Botanical Gardens in Cranbourne. The day threatened to be a dreary one-it was quite cold and wet when we departed, but by the time 10am rolled around, patches of blue sky were starting to emerge.
