2019 ended with an enthusiastic attendance at our "Images of the Year" evening , engagingly critiqued by the always entertaining Phil Ramsden.
Phil was able to give his thoughts on every image entered and in the end awarded the best photographs , monochrome , colour and projected as he saw fit.
Thank you to everyone who came along to enjoy the festivities.
Thank you to everyone who donated to the raffles.
Congratulations to those lucky people who won the hampers.
Stay safe and have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
We will be back on Monday 20th January 2020 in the Pittwater RSL auditorium to kick off a new decade of the
Pittwater Camera Club.
If you have any images that did not quite live up to expectations but may have an amusing background story or you just want some critiquing, please shoot them through to [email protected] and we will have a little fun on Monday 20th January.
Just like the old slide show days!
"Photography is for me, a spontaneous impulse that comes from an ever attentive eye, which captures the moment and its eternity."
