Digital Photography @ the Learning Centres
During May and June the Learning Centres ran several digital photography
related programmes, including a series of 1 hour digital photography workshops
to aid digital camera owners to get more from their cameras, as well as two
digital photography competitions.
Wacky Waitakere Photo Competition
During May we asked you to submit creatively composed photographs as part of our
involvement with the Auckland Festival of Photography. We wanted photos of
familiar locations around Waitakere, but as we tried to make it a little more
fun for everyone, we wanted the photographs of the locations to be taken in a
way that the featured scene was not immediately obvious to the viewer. Familiar
places seen from a new perspective, it was a chance to get really innovative and
win some great prizes.
We had some fantastic entries, with some really creative photos, and we would
like to say thanks to everyone who entered, we really appreciate the creative
effort you all put into your photos. Each of the ten selected images has won a
great prize pack, you can view the ten winning photos

Where In Waitakere Photo Competition
During June we asked you to try and find the scenes in the ten winning photos
from the Wacky Waitakere Photo Competition. This was a giant photographic
treasure hunt, which lots of you decided to take part in. The winner was drawn
from all the entries that had correctly identified all of the 10 scenes, and was
Tyler from Ranui. Well done Tyler, your answers were also very detailed, most
impressive for a one so young!
As part of the entry form we asked you to vote which photo you liked the most,
the photo receiving the most votes would win a rather posh colour digital
printer generously donated by Hewlett Packard. The photo voted the best by the
Public was taken by Peter Borman. Peter took the photo of Piha. Well done Peter
and everyone who took part!
