Tuesday Night Microskill – with Margaret Kebble

A lesson on the use of tone curves for Lightroom.

The Tone Curve (simply referred to as “curves” by most photographers) is a powerful tool that can affect the overall brightness and contrast of an image. By adjusting the Tone Curve, you can make your images brighter or darker, and affect the contrast levels.

See you on Zoom, 7pm

Saturday Workshop – 29 August 4pm

Saturday Triple-Whammy Workshop

We will be meeting at the car park lookout after the saddle, on the upward side of the range, at 4pm.

The workshop will cover ‘Panorama Creation’, Panning’ and ‘Bracketing’.

Bracketing will assist those who have Lightroom for post-processing images into a merged High Dynamic Range (HDR) single ‘tonally complete’ stacked image.

Bring a tripod (if you have), a wide lens would be good too.

Alice Black award August 2020

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.

This month’s winner is Zig Zag by Jenny Graff

September 19 field day.

The Garden of Earthly Delights.

There will be no Carnival of Flowers to speak of next month, but there will be a Garden of Earthly Delights.

Three nymphs will trip through a sea of white daisies and play peek-a-boo from a forest of white flowering May bush.

You may find Alice in Wonderland in her tree house, a charming young lady suspended from a burlesque hoop under the branch of a towering rain forest tree, a dark eyed girl looking very Italienne on a Vespa, a slinky young lass vamping it up behind a bar, or (quick costume change), a country girl in a backdrop of rusting iron and rustic furniture.

For those who missed our shoot at Blue Mountain Heights in June, this is your chance.

Pencil in Saturday September 19, from 3-5.30 pm now.  Indicate your interest on this post asap, as there are only 30 places.  Cost is $25 p.p.

Did I mention there will be pizza?  Not mine this time I’m sorry, we aren’t up to restaurant numbers.

After you register, I will send you a flier if you are a TPS financial member because I will have your email.  If you aren’t a member you will need to email me.

When you get the flier, it will tell you how to pay.  You need to pay the Iron Lady, Treasurer Val, in advance to secure your place.
