About-Us

The 2nd Monday of the month is our competition night.

  • Our Competition Program is available from our website.
  • There are 3 grades, Advanced, A and Open. Open Grade is usually for beginner photographers and for those members who just enjoy taking photographs without doing extensive editing.
  • We have photos presented both in print form as well as Digital (EDI) option. (EDI – Electronic Data Images)
  • Both Digital and Print contests require you to enter online on this website and include a digital copy of each entry. This will be displayed in an image gallery on the website
  •  All photographs are displayed and critiqued by the judge on the night. Most judges provide very beneficial feedback, from which we all learn
  • At the end of the year we run our “Photo of the Year”competition (POTY). The photos entered in this competition must be photographs that have been entered in competitions throughout the year.

The 4th Monday of the month is our tutorial night.

  • We have had many and varied tutorials and continue to do so every month.
  • Suggestions from members as to what tutorials they would like to have are very welcome.

The 1st Monday of the Month is Special Interests group night

  • Members choose their own interest subject to collect 4-10 images on.
  • This is not for competition but to allow members to explore their own photography journey.

22nd July – Sensor Cleaning Tutorial

It’s nearly time to clean your sensors. I hear that the cleaning kits are being delivered quickly so there is still time to order yours in time for the night.

Come along and bring all your camera bodies and get rid of those pesky dust bunnies.

Have your cameras prepared and ready for the NPF the following weekend, in case you win the David Oliver natural light portrait photo workshop.

Here’s the link to the cleaning kit information..

FEES and TEA AND COFFEE

Thank you to those who have paid their fees and a reminder to those who have yet to pay. The fee this year is $50.

Also, if you wish to pay your tea and coffee up front to avoid having to find that pesky $2 coin at the meeting, you can add $40 to your payment.

Neville and I have opted to do that this year. So much easier for us and less of a hassle for Dale when we have to pay the club for our tea and coffee.

The Special Interest Group have agreed to give their night to Nicole. Hopefully all who attended last Monday (including visitors) can be with us again this Monday to hear Nicole’s presentation. It should be a good night. See you there…….

July Tutorial – Advanced Information

Brad Le Broque will be giving a demonstration on how to wet-clean your camera sensor.

If you want to do this on the night you will need to purchase the relevant kit for your camera.

I have attached a link to a document to shows different wet cleaning kits. It is cheaper to buy on-line or if you want to try Digital Camera Warehouse, I have also put their kit but they are more expensive. Brad suggested last night that you type in your camera model and you should see suggestions for the kit you need.

You will need to know if you have a crop sensor or full frame.

There seemed to be a bit of interest last night. If you need more information I will bring my kit next Monday.
