Photography Club

Our judge for the night was Ralph Brown from Alexandra Headlands who is an international judge and president of the Photographic Society of Queensland. His critiques were informative, interesting and fair. The “Hunt and Shoot” held in July was a great success with many of our club competing in the competition which was staged between the Pirates Park and the VMR. Five themes were given to be photographed on the way down to the VMR and another five for the way back. Some very interesting images were the result. The Lakeside Raceway visit in August has been cancelled because of Covid. Hopefully we will be able to go ahead with our planned weekend at Hervey Bay in September and meeting up with the Hervey Bay Photography Club socially and for activities. The Bribie Island Photography Club meets on the fourth Monday of each month in the Boardroom at the back of the Arts Centre on Sunderland Drive at 7 pm. Guests are welcome. The first two meetings are free. For enquiries, please ring Gordon on 3408 2649 or Gail on 0419 638 865.

Theme for July was “Scapes” and was won by Gail Goodair with “Drought Effect” - a stark scene of the recent drought at Lake Eucumbene NSW. In the Print Section Vince Bowser was the Mono winner with “Warwick by Night” - a lovely shot taken during a recent weekend excursion by the Photography Club.

Ron Le Huray was awarded first place and Photo of the Month with “A Star is Born” in the Creative Section with an image of his beautiful, dancing granddaughter. John Cupper with “Friarbird Attack” won the Open Colour. This is one of many splendid photos taken in his back yard.

BICAS PIVOTING on Young Artists event

THE NEXT GENERATION ART PRIZE IS A VICTIM OF THE COVID LOCKDOWN.

The uncertainties of the weeks ahead and how it will affect events like this has caused the organisers, Sarah, Krissy and Ange to cancel it in its present form. But they are working furiously to ensure the young artists who have been working long and hard on their entries will still have them seen and admired through the Bribie Island Community Arts Centre. To this end, they are planning an on-line exhibition of the works, and with a facility for voting for your favourite, so the People’s Choice Award can remain. Sarah said the team were very disappointed to have to make the call when lockdown occurred and while the situation looked brighter, the unknown is too precarious a place to plan for an event with large numbers and the possibility of the Arts Centre Gallery suddenly closing its doors again.
