CAMERA STUDIES
AUCKLAND CLUB’S EXJ-IIRITJON
[ l3y Telegraph, Per Press Association
AUCKLAND, Jan. 9
The best phoograpli of the year at the Auckland Camera Club’s exhibition, according to the judges, is a powerful seascape entered l»v .Mr C. Royer, ol Wellington. It is entitled “The Lookout,” and represents a wlialechaser being towed through the whaling grounds by a tug, from the crow’s nest of which the look-out gazes over the leaden wastes* of ocean. It is a semi-silhouette in outline, and has some marvellously beautiful cloud effects. The judges describe it as “a masterpiece of composition. tone and quality.” The Dunedin Club is placed first by the judges in the inter-club competition. Not only is its display superior to the others, but it betrays welcome signs of originality in an exhibition which is singularly lacking in imaginative quality. Second place is allotted to Wellington, which exhibits several splendid pictures. Auckland cannot be said to shine beside the work of its southern competitors.
