A couple of other successful digital images are also shown here too, both sharing second place in the digital category – thee were “Male Kingfisher” by Dale Powell – one of Dale’s specialist subjects, and the atmospheric “Dawn Raider” by Martin Clark. Well done to both!!

Our Exhibition of Prints has now been set up in the main corridor of University Hospital Crosshouse, Kilmarnock. A great selection of 45 framed prints has been provided by club members. The display certainly brightens up the corridor, provides the club with a bit of exposure in the local community, and gives members a chance to sell their prints at reasonable prices. The exhibition runs until the 13th December 2024. It is really worth a look if you are in the area.
Our eagerly awaited first competition of the year, the Quig Quaich Competition, attracted a wide range of entries across the six topics.
In the “Watercraft” section, the majority of the images came from a club outing to the white-water canoeing centre at Pinkston, with other images from various river and canal locations around the UK.

Over the summer we’ve managed to get some members out there with cameras. Action, architecture, landscapes and wildlife were all exposed in our summer challenges. Our earliest photo opportunity was a trip to Pinkston Water Park, in Glasgow to capture kayakers doing their white-water stuff. Further club outings took our members near and far to places like Bowling Harbour, Balmaha, Kilwinning Abbey, Glencoe, Culzean Castle Park, and Loudoun Old Kirk.
