Eclipse is presented by Toowoomba Regional Council and is created by

region, and often sell out well in advance of the final night of the

show.

 

Excitingly, this is the first Luna Light Journey we’ve created for the

Darling Downs/SQ Country region.

 

Media walk-through details:

 

              * Date – Thursday 21 March (the night before opening night)

Botanical Gardens on Lindsay Street. The group will be welcomed by

Shannon Brooks (CEO), then guided through the show.

              * Interview opportunity – Shannon Brooks and the Mayor and/or

Councillors will be available for comment from 7:00pm – 7:15pm. They

will be located just inside the stone arch entrance.

TPS Competition Night @ The Vision Community Church
Jan 14 @ 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Set Subject: Abstract

Abstract photography is the expression of ideas and emotions by using elements such as colours, lines, shapes and textures without attempting to create a realistic picture – any subject, no matter how ordinary, can become abstract depending on the way it is photographed.

More often than not what you leave out is just as important as what you leave in.

There are no rules about composition or framing – it all comes down to you, your view and what you find interesting or beautiful – you are only limited by your vision and ideas.

Ways to get started:

  • Choose strong shapes
  • Get up close
  • Use colour to grab attention
  • Seek out texture
  • Look for repeating patterns
  • Use lines and curves
  • Photograph reflections
  • Shoot through another object
  • Capture shadow
  • Blur your images

TPS Skills Night Feb 25 – Graham Harris Photographer’s Retrospective @ De Molay House
Feb 25 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Graham Harris CF FAPS AFIAP GPU CR-2 QPSA PSQA will present a retrospective on his photographic journey on the 25th February 2020.

Graham has been photographing since his early years growing up on various properties throughout New South Wales.  He continued this passion in his working life with the Department of Primary Industries in Queensland and with a young family at Inglewood, Monto and Biloela.

In 2004 he joined the Toowoomba Photographic Society and stared entering our local aggregate competition.  In 2007 he entered his first National Photographic competition and 2009 started entering International Salons, gaining some success with acceptances which has enabled him to obtain photographic honours with the following organisations:

  • Australian Photographic Society (APS)
  • Federation Internationale de l’Art Photographique (FIAP)
  • Global Photographic Union (GPU)
  • Photographic Society of America (PSA)

In his presentation Graham will reflect on his photographic journey and provide an overview of his experience with entering photos into competition.  He will show examples of his successful images, and also those that have not been as successful in gaining acceptances.  He will demonstrate the post-processing used to make the most of the images he captures and enters into competition.

Set Subject: Action

This can include animate or inanimate objects involved in any form of action. It is not limited to human activity. The possibilities are infinite but as long as the main thrust of the image implies action then it will be acceptable under the definition.
