Raw Image Challenge for 2024
This year we will continue with our Raw Image Challenges. Each month you can download a raw file from the website. Your task is to edit this image using your favourite editing program and then upload your edited image into the competition for that month.
This needs to be completed by the end of the month. Images then will be available for all members to view and judge with first, second and third places awarded each month.
FAQ Where do I find the raw file to download. If you go to this months competition in the members area “February Raw Image Challenge” there you will find a “blue download button” Selecting this button will download the file to your hard drive.

Make sure you pack your camera gear including tripod if you want to capture some long exposure sunset or blue hour images. The area is mainly wetlands, mangrove and grasses and at this time of the evening there will be mosquitos and sandflies. Make sure you have repellant. Weather forecast is for a hot day and evening.
Not sure how to get there? A Google maps search for “Pirrita island carpark and foreshore” will locate the car park and give you directions.
