Lancefield, June 2011

I went off to Lancefield for a scrapbooking retreat over the Queen's Birthday long weekend. For just 15 seconds in the morning we had the most MAGIC light (and then it was gone!!)

Benalla Golf Club

Last year the Benalla Camera Club was asked to assist with some photographs so that the Benalla Golf Club could update its website. 12 months later we are finally going to have our first exhibition (my first with the camera club, and the first for the camera club for many years). The exhibition starts on July 19th 2011 and will run for 11 days. The official launch is on the 19th July, with Simon Klose (Benalla Art Gallery) officially opening the exhibition. Here are three of my pics that have made it to the exhibition.

A photo in the Ensign

I finally cracked my first photo for the Benalla Ensign. This photo is taken across Benalla Lake towards the Benalla-Monash Bridge and the Benalla Art Gallery first thing in the morning (magic hour light).
