The Wassenberg Camera Club held its monthly competition in prints and slides Thursday, March 8, at the Wassenberg Art Center.\u00a0 Doors\/Windows was the competition theme. Vice President Will Hawkins, Van Wert took first place in prints with a unique shot of\u00a0one of the windows in the\u00a0Presbyterian church. Will set his camera on a tripod and\u00a0changed the setting on his zoom lens while the\u00a0shutter was open\u00a0to get the special effect. President Doug Heckler took first place honors in slides with a picture of one of\u00a0the windows in the building at the corner of Main and Jefferson Streets across from Fountain Park.\u00a0 L.V. Hollis’s picture of a farmhouse window and view in Cades Cove, which is part of the Smoky Mountain National Park in Tennessee, emerged the victor from a three-way tie for second.<\/p>\n

In other business, Heckler asked members to bring ideas to the next meeting for competition themes for the Fair Board’s photography exhibit this fall. What to do at\/with the club’s second monthly meeting was discussed at length and the conclusion for now is that it would be an open meeting for the public to receive answers to their photography related questions and provide information that would be useful to club<\/p>\n
