There is NO food or drinking water facilities onsite, please bring your own food / water / hot milo / coffee. Otherwise you can get some things from the Servo or the Jondaryan Hotel near the Warrego highway.
Weather permitting, we are heading to the Jondaryan Woolshed. We are meeting around 4PM so that members can walk around with some light and look at locations and pick an area where they will be photographing.
Once the sun goes down the fun begins. Blue hour silhouettes could be an option or wait a bit longer for the stars to come out.
As time goes on the Milky Way will present itself and be photographable above your chosen subject, from around 7:30pm onwards (depending on width of your lens etc).
Light paint a shed, tractor, tree – the choice is yours.
Alternatively, face your camera towards the south to get circular star trails and compose it with your subject to make it look like its being sucked up into space.
This is a night members do not want to miss!

Graham Burstow
In Honour of Graham Burstow, the Committee have ushered in a new monthly award for members to achieve called the “Graham Burstow Award – Judges Choice – Mono Image of the Month. This will continue to the end of the year, and commencing in 2023 will then attract an additional 2 points to the winner.
We have also put together a page on our website dedicated to Graham which shows a number of his images that he’d entered into our aggregate competitions.
https://tpsi.org.au/graham-burstow/
We would like to preserve the memories of Graham and His impact in our life and photography. If you have any photo’s of Graham or any video’s you may have taken of his talks, please head over to here to upload them. This will stay open until the end of October for now.

The Competition is now open, and ready for your entries in the usual members section of the MyPhotoClub Website.
Eligible entries:
Members are permitted to submit up to four images using any image entered into the Monthly Club Competitions from January to November of that year.
Note: Alice Black and Graham Burstow winners from the aggregate competitions MAY be entered into the end of year competition categories.
Non-Eligible entries:
Images can not be entered into multiple sections (EG: Open and Creative, or converting a colour image to mono and entering in both).
ALL other images are not eligible to be entered, including Images entered into previous end of year competitions.
Other:
Prints can be submitted, however they will be judged against digitals within the same category. Prints will be judged based on the physical print, not the digital representation. Images entered into the aggregate competition can be re-edited and submitted into the end of year competition. This will give members the opportunity to put into practice lessons learned throughout the year and action on judging feedback.
