Interclub Print Battle
18 August 2009, Kapiti Camera Club
The Kapiti Camera Club, which is hosting this year's Interclub Print Battle on 18 August, has released the list of topics for this year's competition, so keep these in mind when you're out shooting.
This is a fun social night rather than a serious competition - in fact, Kapiti has even stated in this year's rules that you must be prepared to have fun. So there you go.
