Members of the local photographic club have reason to celebrate, after bringing home a number of wards in the prestigious Photographic Society of NZ’s National Exhibition.
Just being accepted into the exhibition was an achievement – more than 250 photographers from throughout New Zealand presented around 1800 projected and print pictures, of which 531 were accepted to be judged.
Seven Hibiscus Coast Photographic Club members had 13 pictures accepted: two received top awards and another an Honours ribbon.
The results were announced at the beginning of April and the awards were presented on May 1 at the Photographic Society’s convention, held in Tauranga.
Alan Dodunski was awarded the Best NZ Natural History Print with his picture of a NZ Dotterel with chicks – this image featured in Hibiscus Matters’ March 4 issue. Alan received the William C Davies Memorial Cup and Gold medal.
Brian Eastwood won the Champion Projected Image with The Steps (HM February 4). Brian received the Robinson Cup and Gold medal.
Miriam Godfrey received an Honours Ribbon for Pied Shag with Snapper of Tiritiri Island.
The other club members to receive acceptances to the exhibition were Jean Evans, Janet Munnings, Sue Riach and Jennifer Williams.
