The best snaps taken by amateur photographers from across East Dunbartonshire are set to be the subject of a new exhibition.
All of the outstanding entries from this year's East Dunbartonshire Photographic Competition will be displayed in Kirkintilloch's Auld Kirk Museum until Friday 27 October.
The stunning photos include Neil Macgregor’s ‘Golden Eagle, Cairngorms’ which won The Gillespie of Lenzie Trophy for Overall Best Print, Brian Cathie’s ‘Moody Elgol’ which landed the landscape category prize, Jim Sloss’s ‘Help!’ which scooped the people category and ‘Je Suis’ by Muhammad Yusuf Khan, who was the under-18 winner.
Kenneth Wilkie was a double winner as he topped the nature category with ‘Puffins in the Rain’ while also scooping top spot in the sport category with his photo entitled ‘I’m still standing’.
Councillor Jim Gibbons, Convener of the Place, Neighbourhood & Corporate Assets Committee, said, "This exhibition showcases work from the very best amateur photographic talent in East Dunbartonshire.
“I must congratulate all the photographers who have contributed to this excellent exhibition.”
Sandy Marshall, Chair of EDLC Trust, said, “There were 149 entries for the competition and this year’s judge, Paul Monaghan, was extremely impressed with the superb quality of many of the entries.
“It was very hard to pick the winners from such a talented bunch and I’d encourage people to come along to view this exciting exhibition.”
The exhibition at the Auld Kirk Museum in Kirkintilloch opens to visitors from 10am on Saturday 30 September and continues until Friday 27 October. An official opening and prize-giving ceremony will take place at 2pm on Saturday 30 September and all are welcome to attend.
The museum is open every week - Tuesday to Saturday - from 10am-1pm and 2-5pm
