Last Wednesday we participated in the 34th Eastern Interclub run by Maroondah Photographic Society, three members of our club attended the competition awards night.

Nine clubs were involved, with Waverley coming 3rd in both the Open EDI and the Black and White EDI sections. Congratulations to all our members with an entry.

We were thrilled when Stephen Edmonds was awarded 2nd place in the open EDI section for his stunning image of an owl in flight. Congratulations!
