Coming in 2022 will be a new special interest group based around putting together Portfolios. An introductory session will be held in February 2022.

Waverley Camera Club is now a club member of the Photographic Society of America (PSA). This means we can join in some of the competitions they run for clubs across the world. These competitions will be run through the Honours Group (but any member is welcome to join in).

Creative Special Interest Group – Tuesday 14 September 2021

Presentations from Adrian Donoghue and Ricardo Da Cunha

In May 2021 the Creative Group invited the Geelong Camera Club Creative Group to a friendly competition to really get everyone’s creative imaginations running. There were two Categories. Firstly, a set subject “proverbs, sayings and idioms” and secondly, an open competition. We were very privileged to have the acclaimed local photographer Doug Porter as a thoughtful and generous judge.

Lyn Northam – A Balancing Act

Trace O’Rourke – Where did Autumn go

Curious what people created? See all the entries and Doug’s comments and feedback in our galleries:
