Image of the Year - 2009 - UPDATE

The prints are up and looking great. Thanks to those who helped with the set-up.

Hope everyone enjoyed IOTY as much as I did.

Thanks to Ron Cork for coming up from Melbourne to judge and present the workshops on Saturday. The workshops were excellent and I'm sure everyone got something out of them. I can't wait to have a go at making AV's over the Christmas break.

It was fabulous to see so many people come to dinner and to the IOTY presentations - thank you for supporting the club. We were privileged to be the first club to see the Narbathong AV - what an amazingly powerful piece of work.

Congratulations to the Winners

Live Lens on New Inventors

On The New Inventors last night they featured the Live Lens. It is designed to eliminate the problem of correctly exposing both dark and light areas of an image. I don't really understand how it works, but it sure sounds interesting.

Warrnambool Show

The Warrnambool Show has come and gone for another year. Thank you to those who helped out with the setting up and gave prints for the display - John, Les, Barry, Graham, Ros, Patti, Sue, Neil, Roger and Vivian. But most importantly a HUGE THANK YOU to Karen, who was there for four or five days setting up, organinsing the prints, re-organising the prints, labelling the displays, re-organising the prints again, organising the judging (thank you Mark for stepping in to judge at the last minute), writing the tickets, and organising the distribution of prizes and removing the prints. Karen you are a legend and we really couldn't have done it without you.
