A total of 413 stunning photographs from all aspects of life were on display for members of the public to peruse and appreciate. 

This total number of photos was up on previous years, pleasing organisers. 

Photographers from across the state entered in droves in each of the open and two junior age groups.

They entered their best shots in categories including portrait, landscape, macro, birds and animals and local, specific to the Harden area. 

Amongst the photographers were people from Sydney, West Wyalong and the local area including a strong representation from host club Harden Murrumburrah and also from the Young Camera Club. 

The exhibition officially opened last Friday night with a strong crowd in attendance at the Old Courthouse, Murrumburrah.

These strong numbers were repeated across the weekend. 

Prizes to the value of $2000 were received by first and second place prize winners in each section. 

All sections were open to anyone interested in entering, with organisers encouraging even greater participation next year. 

The photo exhibition is an annual event with this year marking its fifth year in the town. 

Many of the Harden Murrumburrah Camera Club members also belong to the Young Camera Club.

Attention now turns to Young Camera Club’s major event of the year, the Photographic Exhibition/Competition which runs for eight days during the Cherry Festival.
