A special audio-visual presentation by Club member Linda Zwierlein was viewed. The AV was awarded second place in the Interclub Audio-Visual Open Section at the VAPS convention in May, at Churchill. The subject was Scorsbysund in Greenland and was breathtakingly executed views of scenery and a fascinating expose of local life in this remote town, where a supply ship is received twice a year.
Bruce Langdon presented an audio visual of Robert Rodriguez’s landscape photography tips as information for club members.
?Club members were reminded that the Gippsland Interclub Competition and Exhibition entries must be prints, and the subject matter must be photographed in Gippsland, but not necessarily landscape. The 2019 event, to be hosted by South Gippsland Camera Club, promises to be an outstanding one.
