On 20 September, we held our monthly competition at Club Narooma, with the set subject being “Landscape”. Our judge for the evening was Dave Cotton, a former president of our club. With Dave’s extensive knowledge of landscape photography, he was able to share some valuable feedback on the submitted entries, and followed this up with a very informative presentation of monochrome landscape photographs that he has taken over the years. He used that presentation to illustrate the importance of composition, contrast, texture, leading lines and lighting in this form of photography.
We then projected photos that some of our members took at the Batemans Bay BMX meet on Sunday 20th August.
