The Club's Annual Print Competition was held on Wednesday 25th March and the results are now available to see online! A huge entry was made which reflects the enthusiasm of our club members. Our thanks for making it possible.

Congratulations to those that won and of course also to the runners up! Commiserations to those that lost out however we hope you will have learned from your entry and will be back next session to compete once again.

See how you fared here: 2009 Annual Print Competition Results.

An excellent evening was had with Roy Robertson FRPS judging the Annual Competition for Slides and Monochrome Prints. With an eye for detail he judged 29 slides (set subject ‘Proverbs or Sayings’ and an open section) and 45 monochrome prints (open section).

In a constructive manner Roy pointed out the positive aspects of the images, but he also indicated how images could be improved by changing the composition or exposure, paying attention to the edges of the image, tonal range and what to include or exclude in your image. Roy reminded us that ideas should be carried through all the way and that taking a photo is stage one, but you have to then work on the print to make the image work at its best.

Congratulations to the winners of the Annual Slides & Mono Print Competition:

Ross Martin - MacDonald Cup (Slides – set subject)

Derek McGinn - Tyrell Cup (Slides - open)

Alastair Cochrane - Nairn Cup (Mono Prints – open)

Wednesday 18/2/09

Following on from the AV-workshops members had a chance to show their own audio-visual presentations this evening.

Approximately twelve members brought their AVs and treated the Club to a wonderful variety of subjects: Scottish wildlife, landscapes (both from the air and the ground), foreign places, architecture, magical mushrooms, beautiful photographic art, black & white (with a touch of red) and personal views of life.

It was most inspiring to see more work by our own members and very satisfying to be reminded that there is lots of talent and creativity in the club.

Inverness Camera Club is made up of a friendly group of photography enthusiasts who meet every Wednesday night from September to April and welcomes anyone with an interest in learning more about the art and science of photography. Each meeting starts at 7.30pm prompt upstairs in Culduthel Christian Centre, Culduthel Avenue, Inverness, IV2 6AS.

Members, who are of a broad age range and ability enjoy a varied and stimulating programme throughout the season of guest speakers, club and external competitions. Practical workshops take place each Monday night and it is through these sessions they enjoy a valuable exchange of ideas with each other.

All exponents of the photographic world are supported with traditional film & print as well as modern digital techniques being well supported.

The club offers a warm and welcoming environment in which you can continue your journey towards photographic excellence - or get on the first step should you be completely new to the world of photography.

Why not come along to our next meeting where members will be on hand to share their experience and help you improve your photographic skills.
