Two audio visuals of recent club outings were played – Melbourne trip via V/Line, and Avon Channels, Gippsland, by Ron Paynter which showed extremely rough going on spectacular remote rocky terrain.

Ian Rolfe’s 15 minute audio visual presentation of winter in the Arctic and Norway ended the meeting and was dramatic, colourful and very appealing for photographers. 5000 images made up the video which included fantastic time lapse visuals of the Aurora Borealis electrical activity.

Next club monthly meeting: Monday November 7, when “Scapes” competition will be judged. Club meetings are held the first Monday each month and visitors are welcome. For further information, please visit the Club website www.warragulcameraclub.org
