Hi all here is a chance to get back to the roots of photography. On the 10 December we will have a Coffee and Clicks which will be the absolute last for the year due to end of year celebrations etc.
Here is a chance to get reacquainted with old friends that have been stuck in the cupboard since digital took over. For those that don’t have film cameras some have spares that you will be able to use on lend.
It is time to buy film while it is on sale . Most will come in a 36 exposure your choice on colour or monochrome and I recommend an ISO 400 it is the most versatile without too much grain. I know Camera House has some in stock.

If you have film and camera but unsure how to load it we can help on the day whilst having coffee ideally this is something that should be done out of direct light.

It will give you a good chance to think about your exposure triangle. A good idea is to mark settings for each photo in either your phone or a notebook.

I think the Coffee Club downtown 3pm will be ideal and we can go for a walk from there. I hope to see as many as possible in their purple shirts.
– Veronica

General Notices & Club Information:

2024 Set Subjects & Competition:
The 2024 subjects and guidelines have been completed, the competitions have been created on MyPhotoClub and are ready for you to upload entries.

To find the competitions, please go to our MyPhotoClub website, https://toowoomba.myphotoclub.com.au/ and go into the “Members” Section.

Top right of this section you should see a “Year Selector” – click on 2024.

There you will find all of the competitions and their set subjects.

To find what the guidelines are for each competition, click on the link in the description that says – “Set Subject Definitions”

Which will then take you to our “Purple” website with the details.

Changes to Entry Order

Please note a change in order of section entries, the digitals will now show before the prints. This will hopefully prevent incorrect entries of digitals into the prints sections.

Volunteers

We are always looking for members to volunteer to assist with the general running of the society. Some of these will significantly lighten the load for your committee members which will then allow them to concentrate more on member training, up-skilling and other opportunities to benefit the overall running of the society.
Some areas which we are particularly looking for are:

Member Run Skills Nights
Field Day / Outings Co-ordinator
Community Engagement Co-ordinator
Social Media Co-ordinator
Hall night setup
Visual Media Setup (Laptop, projector etc)

If you would like to nominate yourself, please fill in this form to express your interest:

Print Night 2024: We are planning to hold a “print only” night in January 2024 where we will encourage all members to enter their images as prints. John Stewart has agreed to judge the imagery for us. For this night there will be no requirement to mount the prints.

Club Member Name Badges: A new member name badge has been developed, we encourage all members to purchase for face to face meetings and outings:
