Club Photo Competition

Every year the club holds a bird-themed photo competition, to encourage participation in that aspect of the hobby and improve peoples photography skills. The results of the competition are usually showcased at the october meeting or there abouts, with advice given, photos displayed, and a trophy awarded. We encourage all members to participate in the enjoyable event, and look forward to seeing even more photos next time.

The photos this year were judges by Monty and Shelly, with Monty giving the presentation on the night. Unfortunately there were fewer entrants than last year, so we look forward to more participation next year. Even given that, there were still good photos presented, along with an interesting talk given on them. Below you will find a selection of the entries. Clicking on a photo will bring up a higher resolution version of it.
