Well done to all our club photographers who contributed to us achieving upper quartile positioning in the recent L&CPU competition. We finished 7th overall among the 44 clubs who entered with a mixture of Colour, Mono & Nature images. Macc’s performance was consistently good across both the print and PDI sections enabling us to achieve a strong final result.  The image of the African Fish Eagle by Steve Gresty was one of ours that achieved the maximum mark.
