About Us

PHPC is a medium-sized club of around 40-50 members. Our members range in skill from enthusiastic novices to experienced photographers. The club has a few members who are judges.

We have a number of members who run the mentoring program for our newer members to learn the capabilities of their camera(s). We are large enough to support the growth of members but small enough to be a community, where all members can know each other. The club is here to challenge us to get the best from ourselves and our cameras

It’s Time To Enter Competition 1802 – Water Moving or Still

It is just under one week until entries close for our next photo competition.  Competition 1802 is set subject only: “Water, moving or still, is the main subject, not the attractive woman under the waterfall or the surfer on a wave”.

The competition will close to entries at 11:45pm on Sunday 18th March 2018. Late entries will not be accepted!

Please note that there is an error in the form allowing the selection of open entries.  Please only enter and select the set entries.

Important:  Print entries must attach the MyPhotoClub generated labels as they show the entry identifier which both indicates the entry was submitted on-time and which makes it much easier for us to find them on our scoring sheets.  Entries without system-generated labels may not be admitted for judging.

Competition 1801 Finalised – How to View the Results

It is a pleasure to announce that our first competition cycle is now complete. All scores have been entered, checked, and published on the MyPhotoClub Website.  There were a few glitches on the way but we got there. Thank you everyone for your cooperation and assistance in achieving the results. It has been a big learning curve for all of us.

The results are now available for you to see.  The instructions for viewing competition images and results can be viewed by clicking on the following link. They are also on the Club Documents Page and on the MyPhotoClub page on our old website.

PHPC MyPhotoClub Instruction – Viewing Completed Competitions

Competition entries will also start appearing as featured photos on this site. One will appear on the home page, and several are distributed through the “About the Club” page.  The images that appear there are random.

We have learned some lessons on how best to organise the judging process for ease of scoring.  More information will be released about that shortly.

So well done everyone. The competition year is off to a good start.
