Members were snappy happy to pick up their prizes.
Hamilton Camera Club have presented awards to their best photographers at the annual awards dinner.
Club chairperson Mike Farrance handed out several prizes to both new and experienced photographers from the area, recognising a range of different skill sets.
Established in 1903, Hamilton Camera Club completed a successful year with members attending Hamilton Parish Church halls from September to April on Thursday nights.
Members enjoyed listening to a variety of visiting speakers covering topics such as landscape, nature, documentary and photography tutorials.
Four well-attended organised outings were also arranged with the support of experienced members acting as mentors. These events included The Birks of Aberfeldy, two trips to Glasgow at night and Hamilton town centre for a scavenger hunt.
In addition members participated in two monthly themed competitions and two open events, and also had opportunities to show their own photographs from these outings for the enjoyment of all.
This year also saw a presentation to Donald Parsons, one of the club’s longest serving members. Donald, a member since 1988, has supported the club in a variety of committee positions and has won a total of 62 trophies for outstanding print and image quality. In recognition of this service the club awarded him with an honorary membership.
The President’s Trophy was awarded to Susannah Smith, Jean McMillan picked up the Treasurer’s Trophy and the Images Shield went to Ross McCallum.
The club will resume on September 3 with a full program of activities, and further information available at hamiltoncameraclub.co.uk
