Individual awards were presented in four sections; Small Prints – Open, Large Prints – Open, Projected Images – Open and Projected Images – Set Subject (Action). Perpetual trophies were awarded for overall club aggregate points in Prints and Projected Images.

Night Shoot

Members took advantage of our great location on Thursday 29/7 for a night shoot. The weather was mild, there was no wind and there were some great reflections from ships in the bay. After an hour or so of shooting it was great to be able to step inside for a coffee.

Corio Bay Camera Club Relocates

Jack — Fri, 28 May 2010 10:03:55 +0000

Corio Bay Camera Club has relocated to new rooms at Osborne House, Swinburne Street, North Geelong. Current meeting times remain the same, ie; second, fourth and fifth Thursdays in the Month. Osborne House was used as offices of the former Shire of Corio. It is located in a garden setting with excellent car parking facilities and (appropriately) sweeping views across Corio Bay

See the map for where to find us.

For the first time in the Club’s fifty five year history, we have a venue that will be for our exclusive use, which means that we can run a more varied and expanded program.

Watch this space and other pages on our website for further information in the near future.

Digital Life Expo

Jack — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 10:28:31 +0000

The Photo Marketing Association International has joined forces with the Photo Imaging Council of Australia to promote a new show concept for the Asia-Pacific photo imaging industry. The first PMA Australia show was held in Melbourne in 2007, Brisbane 2008 and Sydney in 2009.

The annual Australian PMA imaging show will be given a new name and treatment for the 2010 event due to be held Friday 4th to Sunday 6th June at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre. Now in its twenty-ninth year, the Australasian Show will be promoted under the name of Digital Life Expo rather than the customary Photo Imaging Technology tag.

You will need to register to attend – it’s free. Go to the website below for more information.

VIGEX – International Photography Competition

admin — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 22:20:41 +0000

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.
