“Each year the President picks their favourite photo,” said Tracey. “My favourite was Kate Powick’s exhibit. The image is of a pelican in full flight.”
Capturing a photograph of an animal in the wild requires more than ‘aim the camera, press a button and wish for luck.’
“There are few people who can capture a perfect image like Kate’s. The bird is flying incredibly fast, and this image is so sharp”, said Tracey. “For the photo to work, the camera had to be on a very fast shutter speed with light adjustments. Kate captured this moment with perfection.”
How to get involved with the Photography Society
For keen and aspiring photographers, the society holds regular meetups, with mystery group outings and skills workshops.
The annual exhibition is the highlight of the year as it provides a chance for all members to showcase their work.
Every photo is on sale to the public offering locals a chance to support our regional arts community and to own a special view of the region.
