Melanie Dick has whipped up a fancy poster, featuring David Steer’s friendly Kea, to promote our exhibition which starts this week. Please feel free to download and print out the poster if you’re able to display it anywhere, and we hope to see you all there throughout the week!
The results of our second Projected Image Exhibition for 2020 were announced at the club meeting this week. For the first time, we used Zoom at a club meeting, so that one of our judges was able to present her comments ‘in person’, and it seemed to work really well. Watch this space for more Zoom visitors at meetings!
Congratulations to Stephanie Forrester APSNZ for her Champion Open Image Out of the Fog and to Simon Parsons for his Champion Natural History Image Albatross 1, and well done to everyone who had images accepted.
Thank you very much to our judges, Nicki Mora LPSNZ for the Natural History section, and Cushla Moorhead for the Open. We really appreciate the time they put into judging for us, and their thoughtful commentary.
The results are available here as a PDF and below in the two slideshows.
Now that things are looking a bit more normal back at Level 1, here are the plans for this month. As before, if we need to go back to Level 2, all face-to-face meetings will be postponed or moved to Zoom when possible. Hopefully there should be something here for everyone!

Our first “face-to-face” meeting since the COVID-19 Lockdown was the viewing of the 2020 Projected Image Exhibition. The full results are available here as PDF download and the slideshow of images can be seen below.
Thanks to Chris Parkin APSNZ and Roger Thwaites APSNZ for making the selection of images and providing feedback on their selection.
Congratulations to David Steer APSNZ for his Open Champion Image – Plumb, and to Noelle Bennett LPSNZ for her Natural History Champion Image – Green chiton.
The results of the Projected Image Exhibition for 2018 were announced and presented at the meeting on Monday 12 November. The Open Section images were selected by Trish and Alistair McAuslan. They were not present at the meeting, but their comments were read out by Melanie Middlemiss. The Natural History Section images were selected by Craig McKenzie who commented on each of the images as they were projected.
The awards, which are summarised below, were presented by our Patron, Ian Wyllie. Congratulations to all ten members of the Society who had images accepted for the exhibition, and to the six who also received Honours awards. Special recognition went to Andre Koschinowski, who received the Champion Award in the Open category, and to Gary McClintock, who received the Champion Award in the Natural History category.
