APRIL 2016

It was AGM time at the April meeting of the Port Lincoln Camera Club. Our outgoing president, Steve Sykes

spoke of the enjoyment of the challenge of holding this position since 2010, during which the committee has

continually looked at ways to accommodate and stimulate all members varying range of expertise and

experience. He thanked the outgoing committee and welcomed members of the new, hoping they “enjoy

the next 12 months and steer our group along the road of adventures in photography”.

Thank you Steve for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience with us over the last 5 years.

Our new committee consists of Hamish Robertson (President), Michael Bolenski (Vice President), Pam

Hewstone (Secretary), Judy Glendenning (Treasurer) and committee members Fran Solly, Gordon Fowler,

Colin Gill and Ruth Evans.

The AGM was then followed by our monthly Club meeting. We went through the judge’s scores and

comments for March as well as February which didn’t quite make it back to us in time for our last meeting.

February’s winner for the judge’s vote in the Open section was “Pygmy Possum” by Ruth Evans, second was

“Superb Fairy Wren” by Hamish Robertson who also received third place for “Solo Bee”. The popular vote

saw “Superb Fairy Wren” take first place, “Amazing Amoeba” by Gordon Fowler second and “Pygmy

Possum” came third.

The Set Subject for February was “Festivities” with the judge awarding Lesley Scarman’s “The Fireworks

Show” first place, and “Red Sky” and “Gold Sky” by Hamish Robertson taking out second and third

respectively. For the popular vote the winner was Tania Visic for “Clowns in a Row”, second was Hamish

Robertson with “Red Sky” and third was “Christmas – WOW” by Gordon Fowler.

For March in the Open Category the judge was impressed with the stunning light captured by Judy

Glendenning’s “Farm Gate”, while Hamish Robertson scored a second place with “The Golden Dawn” and

Gordon Fowler third with “Boxed In”. In the Open Section popular vote “Enjoying the Sunshine” by Lesley

Scarman won first place followed at second place by Hamish Robertson’s “Piping Shrike” and third with Judy

Glendenning’s “Farm Gate”. A Merit was awarded to Lesley Scarman for “Collecting Pollen”.

For March’s Set Subject “Jetties” the Judge scored Hamish Robertson a first place with “Smoke on the

Water”, while Judy Glendenning was second with “Evening Walk” and Leslie Scarman third with “Port Kenny

Jetty”. Merits went to Robert Baker for both “Night Jetty” and “Blue Jetty” while Hamish Robertson did very

well in the popular vote being second with “A Moment to Reflect” and third with “Smoke on the Water”.

First place went to Robert Baker for “Night Jetty”.

next meeting is at 7pm on Monday 23rd
