Several of our club members attended the Knox Monochrome Interclub Comp recently. We were privileged to see some great images across 7 clubs and witness an exciting finish with Waverley coming out on top! Yes… we won!

It was a close competition with Knox Camera Club only 1 point behind us, and less than 10 points separating the top 4 clubs.

Well done to the selection committee for this competition and congratulations to the authors of all our entries – it was a great team effort.

Special mention to the following authors, whose images scored the maximum 15 points for their work.

Leanne Poole – Floating
