Due to the high winds, the outing to Tiritiri Matangi was cancelled. However, 2 members took the opportunity to spend that time around the Hamilton area, getting some great images.
12 people travelled to Auckland recently to attend the International Press Photo Exhibition, and viewed some very evokative and confronting images along with many iconic scenes from previous years. Well worth the trip.
The club holds monthly competitions to encourage members to use their cameras and be creative.
Here are some recent image entries which gained high points.
