There was a good attendance at tha fortnightly meeting o£ the Camera Club, when nn architecture competition was held, with the following rosults:—A Section: Mr. J. W. Johnson/1 and 3; Mi-. K. .T. Searle, 2. B Section: Mr. Lan L. J. Powell, ], 2, and 3. Mr. 11. C. Peart briefly criticised the entries for the benefit of those present. Mr. E. T. Jtobson spoke with regard to the 1930 inter-club pictures, which were on view. He. did not agree with some of the judges' marking, but pointed out that judging was a thankless task, as it was impossible to please everyone'; however, it was most essential that a judge should be consistent. Mr. 1-tobaou advised pictorial photographers to hang their finished pictures ,on the walls of their bedrooms or elsewhere, where they could be looked at frequently before being sent in for competitions; thus the imperfections and short" comings woidd gradually become clear to them. To make progress it was necessary to compete with others, or one would stand still. The main object in holding such exhibitions of pictures was for each competitor and each person who tried- to make a picture to get some satisfaction from the results Various pictures were dealt with in detail, and their marks analysed and commented on, for the instruction of tho: : present. At the conclusion Mr. Eobson was awarded a hearty vote of thanks. One new member was elected, and an outing for 3rd June an» nounced.
