REGULAR FEATURES
T
he theme for the month of April was the colour “Purple” and was won by Rodney Augusten with a beautiful shot of the entrance at the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) Hobart, Tasmania. The winner of the Digital Image, Mono category and Image of the Month was Roger Bawden with a lovely photo of Windmills “Latte Windmills”, taken near Amsterdam in Holland. The Digital Image Open Colour category was an exquisite shot of a visiting frog by John Cupper – title “Croak in the Night”. Creative was won by Marj Webber with a composite photo of two of her granddaughters frolicking in a vertically panned photo of the Melaleuca scrub on Bribie Island – title “Forest Nymphs”. Gordon Bentzen won both print sections with his pin-sharp photos of antique motorbikes titled “Early Harley” and “Early Motorcycle”. Our Judge Gang Wei was unable to attend so presented his critiques on digital images by Zoom. He gave detailed and fair judgments on our work. John Cupper stepped in to judge our prints which were presented on the night. Thank you, John! The “Noir” workshop was a big success with Gaby Shaw arranging the lighting and props. A slideshow of the photographs was shown on our new television screen. A presentation on Boudoir/ Artistic Nudity was given by Lynette Romano who has her own studio where she produces her works of art. Coming events on our calendar are the Samford Gecko Wildlife visit on May 16th, a Scenic Rim
tour overnighting in Warwick and a weekend at Hervey Bay. Other exciting activities are in the pipeline. The Bribie Island Photography Club meets on the fourth Monday of each month at the back of the Arts Centre on Sunderland Drive at 7 pm. Guests are welcome. The first two meetings are free.
