The Bribie Island Photography Club meets at on the fourth Monday of each month at the Arts Centre on Sunderland Drive. Judge for the night was Peter O’Brien who is an accredited QPS judge belonging to the Peninsula Camera club. He gave us fair and informative critiques on our competition photos and showed us a short slide show on some of his own images. Gordon Bentzen showed two, short five-minute videos on changing the composition of a photo by moving the camera in different ways. Supper was cancelled because of difficulties with social distancing.
