VIGEX – International Photography Competition
Two news items in one day, what a day. There was a post about competitions today already but VIGEX is so great that I decided that it deserved its own post!
Those that saw Vigex two years ago will know the quality of the entries. It’s a bi-annual competition. So get out your best work and find the correct section and enter. You could find yourself with more glory than one photographer can handle. There are a number of sections and finding the correct one can mean the all the difference. Sections such as photo journalism, black and white and even a creative section where Photoshop rules. The competition is prints only (no digital images) so get down to the printers.
The exhibition has received FIAP Patronage 2010/003, APS Patronage 2010/02 PSA Recognition for Monochrome; Colour; Nature; Photojournalism; Creative.
So check out the website for more details. Also please spread the word to all your photography friends.

New three way long distance interclub
A new long distance interclub competition has been established between Corio Bay Camera Club, the Kettering and District Photographic Society (UK) and the Focus Photo Club Dayton, Ohio (USA). The competition will be held later in 2010, around the same time as our current 3-way with Gem/Kaiapoi
You can get an idea of what we will be up against by visiting their websites:
Focus Photo Club – Dayton Ohio
Kettering and District Photographic Society – Northamptonshire UK
Welcome to the New Year
The first meeting for 2010 is this Thursday the 28th, it is a members Holiday Show and Tell, come along and let us know what you have been doing over the last two months, bring some images as well. There will be a report on the great day had at Hanging Rock – Australia Day Races, hopefully with plenty of images. Those members and their families that attended had a very pleasant day.
We will have the projected images file name and resize program on the clubs laptop to instruct those that need help with this program, I have heard from a few members of their inability to get it to work.
Don’t forget that entries for the February Competition are due this Thursday as well.
Looking forward to seeing you all, Happy New Year in Photography.
