Warragul Camera Club
On June 6, 21 Warragul Camera Club members and guests attended the general meeting and saw the club's monthly competition for the subject “The Little Things in Life” – 64 images were judged.
competition steward Mike Moore presented the images for the competition presentation and judging.
All the images can be seen on the club's website.
The images were judged and appraised by guest judge Peter Bellmont.
Peter joined Ivanhoe Photographic Society in 1971, APS in the early 80's and Whittlesea Photography Club in 2005.
In early years his main photography was printing black and white, then colour from negatives and eventually all digital.
He gained LAPS AAPS and eventually FAPS all via the Panel System and IPS presented Peter with a life membership several years ago.
Peter enjoys photographing anything that looks good through the camera lens; he also enjoys helping other people with their photography.
