The club’s amateur, novice and seasoned shutterbugs creatively came up with compositions to make their set subject photographs stand out. July’s set subject winner was Mark Zunckel, for his elegant, picturesque interpretation of the subject.

Mark Zunckel handily won the best set subject category with his capture at Pennington.

The more open-ended side of the monthly competitions run by the club saw photographer Leanne Troskie capture a vibrant, ultra-urban night-time shot of harbour lights to win the best senior photo category.

Best senior photograph was taken by seasoned shutterbug, Leanne Troskie.

Best junior went to Benita van Eeden’s silky-smooth long exposure entitled “Waves meet Sky.”

“Wave meets Sky,” by Benita van Eeden, won best junior photograph.

For August, club members will take on food photography, putting together a food arrangement.
