Would you like to help out with our monthly tutorials?  Have brilliant ideas for interesting topics?  Know the right kind of photographers we could invite to share their knowledge?  WE NEED YOU!!!

After a long time filling our tutorial sessions with interesting topics, John Frost is stepping down as Tutorial Co-ordinator.  BIG THANKS JOHN FOR ALL YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS.

John is quite happy to continue to help with tutorials, but would like someone to take over co-ordination.  Better still would be a small team to share the work and make it easier for everyone. 

If you’re interested, or just want to learn more please contact John, Toni or Susan

Our AGM is typically held on the tutorial night in June but since we have an excellent speaker on Landscape photography coming that night the Committee has agreed to move the AGM to the July tutorial night, ie 23 July.  We’ll be sending out the agenda, nomination forms, and items to discuss in the next couple of weeks.

In the meantime, please think about nominating to join the Committee, and whether you would like to raise anything at the AGM.

More soon…

Our Guest Speaker for Topshot 2018 – Timothy Poulton

Profile

Timothy Poulton is an inspired landscape photographer from Sydney, Australia, with a big passion for the outdoors. His photographic heart beats for hunting down the very best light from the very best location. More often than not, this takes him up mountains before the break of dawn, or down a ski slope on my jacket-come-sled after the last vestiges of sunset are fading away. He is an adrenaline junkie for that moment where the sky is ablaze with the most magnificent colors and shapes, it is humbling knowing there is a force bigger than all of us combined. He always feel privileged to be alive, in good health and witnessing earth’s orchestra reaching the crescendo coupled with a light show like no other. The earth is jam-packed with experiences for humans, but very few left that are unadulterated by modern technology which seeks a permanent place within it all.
