Pittwater Camera Club - Award Winners and Images of the Year 2014
Pittwater Camera Club has enjoyed another successful year with members gaining acceptances in National & State competitions.With Pittwater RSL Club Inc. as our new meeting venue and supporter, club members are enjoying the great facilities that the club has made available. Our meetings in the Auditorium will begin 30 minutes earlier next year, at 7.30pm. Interested new members or visitors can check our agenda for next year at pittwatercameraclub.org.
Membership is steady at around 50 keen photographers, ranging in experience from beginner to very high skill levels. The Club remains a wonderful environment to learn and develop photographic skills. Our regular tutorials will continue in 2015 as well as having experienced adjudicators critique our images. This helps us understand what makes a successful image and leads to improvement in our photographic skills.
The clubs first meeting in 2015 will be a tutorial by talented photographer Brent Pearson on low light image making.
