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.
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?

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.
