Balloons over Waikato 2012

An excellent turnout, with over 20 people travelling to Hamilton under the Whangarei Camera Club banner for this event.  Seems as though a great time was had by all & if everyone took over 370 images that weekend (as I did) the pics will be many & varied.

Trip to Batley

Sat 5 May - meet at Kowhai Court car park, Rust Ave for car pooling ($10 per person to your driver please) - leave 1.30pm.  Drive to Batley via Maungaturoto, arrive approx 3.00pm.  Photograph exterior of Batley House (courtesy of Rae & Rex Roadley) & as the tide will be out we have the chance to walk along the beach for additional photos.

Climb the hill for sunset images if the day is suitable.

Return home after dinner at Pizza Barn, Waipu.

If wet on Sat, trip may be postponed to Sun 6 May. 

InterClub Competition

Congratulations to Whangarei Camera Club for winning the InterClub 'Toy Story' competition. There were some very clever and imaginative images from all Clubs shown.

The winning individual entry went to Heather O'Brien for her entry, Boy Racer.


General comments from the Judges of Toy Story

Congratulations to all the people who entered "Toy Story."  There was so much muttering & moaning about the difficulty of this competition that we were pleasantly surprised by both the quantity & quality of entries received.  It seems we have a lot of creative members.

The Ruapehu Trip

Club Members from Whangarei, Dargaville and Keri Keri plus a few extras, were treated to beautiful weather on their recent trip to Ruapehu. (End of October).

One group (photo shows the Intrpid Trekkers) walked the Tongariro Crossing and had to walk through snow in places for fabulous views of the lakes.

Discovering Dargaville

 

 

The April field trip to Dargaville was organised to give the Whangarei East coasters the opportunity to photograph a West coast sunset from Bayleys Beach.
