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.
Whether you are a beginner, an improver, or an expert; or someone wishing to improve their photographic techniques and get the most from their camera, why not give Kilmaurs Photographic Club a try?
We begin our autumn session on Monday 16th September 2024. The club meets once a week in Kilmaurs Masonic Lodge Halls at 7.30pm on Monday evenings We have a varied programme and pride ourselves in being friendly, welcoming, instructive, and challenging. You are welcome to visit without commitment to join.

Last November, our club won the Scottish Photographic Federation digital-image competition. And so, Kilmaurs was one of only 3 Scottish clubs at the British final in Warwick on 21st July.
38 clubs from all over the UK had qualified for the Final of the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain’s competition, shown in front of an audience of 250. The venue was Warwick School, one of England’s oldest public schools.

The ‘Annual’ is our final major competition of the year, where members can show off their best from the whole season. The standard of entries was extremely high, and judge Rob Davis gave an excellent assessment of every image.
Rob awarded the trophy for Best Image of 2023-24 to Dale Powell for his stunning monochrome print of an African Grey Parrot. The details in the bird’s feathers and bill were superb, all shown off with top quality printing. This was one of three of Dale’s images that scored 20 points. Congratulations Dale, well deserved!
