April Nature Competition Results
Congratulations to all of the award winners with this months Set Subject – Nature.
Nature Photography can be one of the most rewarding yet frustrating genres to photograph. It was great to see 122 prints and images to be presented to Dr. Roy Killen for judging. As a Camera Club we are very lucky to have one of the most awarded Nature Photographers in Australia to be available to us for judging and conducting talks.

As some of you are aware I am currently away on a back to nature trip for the entire month of April. Due to some very dramatic weather at Mt Buller, Vic I am forcefully holed up indoors and now have time to catch up with things happening within our Club. Unfortunately my internet connection is very sub par and I am only able to grab the winning images from each section. Seems that downloading of zip files in a blizzard is a bit outside our Telco’s capabilities. I am sorry to all of the place getters that I cannot display their images but, every member is able to view the results by going to the home page on the website and clicking on ~
Members Area (blue tab) > View Completed Competitions ( green tab) > April Monthly ( green tab). This will show you all of the images presented and their scores.
