Come along for an enjoyable night and expand your knowledge with B & W Photography.
The topic of the night will be Monochrome Part 1.
Len’s Secrets of Digital Black and White Photography. This is the most requested talk that Len presents. It is an inspiring introduction to the construction of a monochrome photograph. It is full of learning for photographers at all levels. It includes compositional tips for photographers too.
This tutorial will be presented over Zoom viewed at the Wangi Workers club, commencing at 7pm sharp.
Leonard Murray Metcalf is the founder and head teacher of Lens School. Len is renowned for his exquisite photographs and supportive, gentle teaching style. His broad experience both as an art educator and photographer makes him an ideal mentor as you develop your own photography.
I’m reaching out to kindly ask if you could notify your members about the Belmont Wetlands State Park Photography Competition, running from March 1 to June 30, 2025.
The competition is a fantastic opportunity for community members of all ages to showcase their creativity and love for the natural beauty of Belmont Wetlands. We’re inviting photo entries in three categories:
Landscapes – Capturing the park’s natural beauty
Flora and Fauna – Highlighting native plants and wildlife
Enjoying Nature – Showcasing people engaging with nature (e.g. surfing, fishing, walking)
Each category has three age divisions: • Kids (under 12) • Youth (12–18) • Open (all ages)
Winners will be selected by a panel and awarded at a special event later this year. Selected entries will also be featured on the Belmont Wetlands State Park website.
To enter, participants can visit our homepage at wwwbelmontwetlands, read the competition terms and conditions, and upload their photo along with their name, phone number, and email.
We’d love for your members to be part of this celebration of community and nature. Please feel free to share this invitation through your newsletter, social media, or in upcoming meetings.
If you have any questions or would like more promotional material, feel free to reach out.
Warm regards,
Shane Smith I Senior Ranger & Community Engagement Officer
