Results from 35th Eastern Interclub 2025
Last Wednesday we participated in the 34th Eastern Interclub run by Maroondah Photographic Society, three members of our club attended the competition awards night.
Nine clubs were involved, with Waverley coming 3rd in both the Open EDI and the Black and White EDI sections. Congratulations to all our members with an entry.
We were thrilled when Stephen Edmonds was awarded 2nd place in the open EDI section for his stunning image of an owl in flight. Congratulations!

Macro and Close-up SIG Ceres visit
Our next Macro and Closeup SIG outing is on Friday September 12th 2025, and will be to Ceres in Brunswick East, cnr of Roberts and Stewart Streets. We will meet at the cafe (not the Grocery) at 9am for a coffee, enjoy some photography, and then meet back at the cafe for lunch/another coffee at 11:30. Please note the earlier start time!! We were there today at 9:45 and the car park was practically full so we are opting for an earlier start time to make parking easier. If you can’t make this time feel free to arrive when you can, have a wander, and then meet us in the cafe at 11:30.
Note that while the website lists opening hours as 9am to 12:30pm, this only applies to the visitor center, the park and cafe are open outside of those hours, so we don’t need to rush away.
I have spoken to them about our visit and they have just asked that we don’t photograph people. Given that we are there for macro, this shouldn’t be a problem.
If you wish to carpool, the whats app group would be a great way to facilitate that.
Thanks, and hope to see you there,
Leanne and Kirsten
