Corio Bay Camera Club

Succes at Interclub with Colac CC

Colac Camera Club hosted Corio Bay Camera Club on Saturday 14^th August for our annual Interclub competition. Images were judged by Duane Eaks from Ivanhoe Photographic Society.

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.

It was a very successful evening for Corio Bay with our members taking three of the four individual awards as well as the two aggregate awards. Corio Bay will host next Year’s competition and we are hoping that the recently formed Bellarine Camera Club will be able to join us and make it a three way competition.

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.

Special Interest Groups

Now that the Club have clubrooms that can be accessed as needed, we are starting up some special interest groups. We have facilitators for two groups so far – an Audiovisual Group and a Portrait Group. Other groups being considered include a Creative Group and a “Click n Chat” Group.

Subpages for these groups have been set up under the “What’s On” page. Information on the groups’ aims and activities will be included there so keep your eye out for updates.
