We meet at DeMolay House, 90 Margaret Street, Toowoomba at 7:00 pm on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month.
To join our club please follow the instructions at About the Club. Additional information about the club can also be found here.
About our Club Our newsletter - Cable ReleaseJanuary is rolling up quick for those who would like to try for honours…
You will need to join the APS, $80 per annum and have either 12-14 images for Licentiate or 20-25 for Associate. The Panel entry fee is extra.
At this stage, I am hoping to get three judges (who have Associate honours) to view entries for members.
Each will pick out either 12 or 25 images, copy them into a folder from the originals submitted.
This will give the submitter an idea how’d they might go in achieving said honours. Ultimately it’s your decision.
Please start curating your entries.
Don’t forget that tomorrow night is our next Coffee Catch-Up at Jilly’s on Margaret Street, 6-7pm. We will be covering ‘Bracketing’, and the advantages of doing this.
Please remember it’s a gold-coin donation for printed materials and the purchase of a beverage and/or cake to come along.
Bracketing is one of those skills which can really propel your photographic journey. Please consider coming along.
To perpetuate the memory of our late member Alice Black, the club has introduced the ‘Alice Black Memorial Trophy’ to be contested each year on a perpetual basis.
At each month’s Aggregate Competition the judge will select an image from all those entered as the monthly Alice Black Image – they will use their own criteria to select the image regardless of the score given. All images submitted in the Aggregate Competition have the potential to become a possible winner of the Trophy as there is no restriction on the grade of the entrant or the medium in which the image is presented.
For November 2018 the Alice Black has been awarded to John Stewart for his print “A wet day in the horse yards”. This image was entered in the Salon Grade Mono Set Subject: “Motion” Print section.
Our judge, Allan Rosser commented “Well done, slow enough to show the drops dropping, but not slow enough for other things to blur. The progression of dark to light enhances the image.”
Our next club meeting is at 7:00pm this coming Tuesday, 13th November 2018. There have been 131 images submitted by 46 club members for our November 2018 Aggregate Competition which will be judged this evening by Allen Rosser.
The Set Subject for this month is “Motion”.
We look forward to catching up with you all this evening.
And don’t forget that entries for the December 2018 Competition are required by 12:00 midnight on the 13th November 2018 – the set subject for this month is “Fairs, Shows, Markets”.
Members,
The Committee wanted to inform all that the competition image size is now 2000px x 2000px and 2,000 kilobytes (or 2 megabytes).
Please use this extra megabyte and ensure your images make full use of these sizing parameters.
Don’t forget Tuesday night (6th November) is our first Coffee Catch-up at Jilly’s Cafe, 6-7pm.
Our first night will be about making sure we cover what ‘you’ want over the next year.
Each night will discover a new micro-skill, that we will learn about….them put into practice!
The first meeting of the month will introduce the micro-skill that will become our online photo competition subject! That way you learn, do, show!
This first month, we will be learning about:
White Balance
It’ll only cost you a gold coin and the purchase of a coffee/drink, or coffee and cake (Jilly’s has marvelous cakes!)
Meet you at Jilly’s, Margaret Street, just down from the Neil Street intersection. 6pm. Tuesday night.
