Wow – thank you to Women's health West for the opportunity to enter their competition and win this lovely prize for my photo of the juggling act.

Brad Wilson is an amazing animal photographer. I wouldn't call him a typical wildlife photographer because all his animals are "trained" animals.
As he explains in the video the extent of the training is for them not to jump off the set and attack you.
Good natured ribbing started as soon as the teams were formed in Queenscliff. Team leaders Kris, Phil, Cathy and Tom got their teams in huddles and plans of attack were made.
Each team had to photograph five set subjects within two hours seagull/s, landscape/seascape, macro, architecture and a group self portrait.

Wow... I couldn't think of another first word to write. Right from the opening slide of Alex Cherney's astrophotography presentation I was in awe. You can see the opening image in this article.
It's pretty amazing to know Alex has only been indulging his interest in Astronomy since 2007 and now describes himself as an amateur astronomer, all the while making some extraordinary astrophotography images of the night sky.
The photo above was taken on the Great Ocean Road at Loch Ard Gorge and amazingly the only artificial light in the image is way off to the right, the faint orange glow of the lights from Warrnambool, the rest of the image is lit with starlight.
On Wednesday 25th July, Karen, Ray and David attended the annual Knox Monochrome Interclub Competition at Boronia. Williamstown Camera Club was one of the 7 invited Clubs to participate. The competition was divided into 4 parts – digital and print, novice and open. Each Club was permitted a maximum of 5 entries per category ie a total of 20 entries per Club. We were well represented by some lovely images from a wide range of makers. Jim Weatherill was the judge.
Details to be advised closer to the date. The annual Spudfest in Trentham will offer many photographic opportunities to our members.
