Click West Number Two

Don't be puzzled - there was a Click West Number One but the computer blinked and it vanished. If you are reading this and the title says Click West Number Five the language may become a little terse.

Click West happened last night - West Australian Photographic Federation held a massive exhibition/party/promotion at Hoyt's La Premiere cinema to showcase the work of their camera club members. The competition was held with a number of divisions - WA Landscape to show lifestyle, Portrait to show emotion, Monochromatic to show architecture, and Macrophotography to show nature. There was also an overall portfolio prize.

Peter Holland hosted the evening, and three famous photographers acted as judges; Peter Eastway, Russell James, and Tony Hewitt.

There was quite a pool of prizes - over $ 16,000 worth. Canon Australia, Fitzgerald Photographic, Camera Electronic, Epson, True North Tours, and C.R. Kennedy all did their part to provide the sort of incentives that really inspired the entrants.

Here's a look at what the judges saw on the big screen.
