Print and Slide Evaluation Night

There will be a print and slide evaluation night at the clubrooms on Tuesday April 3. This is an opportunity for members to show their work in a non-competitive environment and get some constructive feedback from other members, some of whom are judges for camera club competitions. Members who haven't entered in competitions yet can get some good advice and encouragement.

EPC v South Coast Camera Club Interclub Competition Results

Last night we hosted the Interclub competition with South Coast Camera Club and here are the results:
Small Colour Prints: EPC 74, SCCC 48
Large Colour Prints: EPC 87, SCCC 72
Monochrome Prints: EPC 84, SCCC 67
Slides: EPC 218, SCCC 194

So EPC consistently scored higher points in all categories. The judge was John Hodgson, who was excellent as usual.
