I would just like to wish all our members a safe and happy break over the Christmas period, and I hope Santa fills your stockings with lots of photographic equipment!
Looking forward to see you all back on the 20th of January 2011, if not sooner!
Cheers,
Matt
Just a quick note to let you know the December 31-day challenge is up and running. We only have a few contributors, but then you don’t have to contribute images as James says in the FlickR discussion:
If you don’t want to submit, it’s enough to keep an eye on the website and enjoy the unfolding of the month. Perhaps you could join in by making a few comments to encourage us all on. Your chance to do some judging.
So go on, pop over, have a look and contribute in any way you like.

That’s right! After the success of the 2010 calendar, Blackwood Photographic Club has once again produced its superb calendar. The 2011 calendar, like its 2010 predecessor, is filled with fantastic and stunning images from our members. We have kept the price the same as last year – just $15 – and with Christmas just around the corner these will be a guaranteed pleaser for young and old alike! You can obtain a copy from any club member, email us, or write to the club via snailmail. We accept cash, cheques & money orders (payable to Blackwood Photographic Club of SA) and Electronic Funds Transfer (details available upon request) as payment for this great calendar. Please add $2.90 for tough bag postage/packaging mail delivery. Do your eyes a favour and get one! |
The 2011 programme is now on line – for those that missed the booklet at the Annual Exhibition & Awards night. Looks like a good year ahead with lots if interesting competitions and content!
There have been some competition rule changes in case you missed them – given the large number of entries each competition:
Please read the Competition Entry Rules for more details.
I’ll be posting the Annual Exhibition and Awards results later this week along with the winning digital entries. Congratulations to all the winners!
If any winners in the print section would like their images displayed here, feel free to email the images to the bpcdigitalentries@gmail.com account (in the standard 72dpi 1024×768 format) for inclusion. I will watermark them for you if you don’t.
In case you missed it, the next 10 club events are displayed in the RSS feed in the right column of the page – in case you don’t want to view the whole programme. Hover your mouse over the event to get a description, or subscribe to the feed. We’ll put club outings in there too when they occur.
Don’t forget the Annual Picnic – contact Julie Goulter for details if you missed the handout…..see you there!
And finally, remember the December 31-day challenge – get those shutters clicking on a daily basis.

This is a challenge! I got the idea from Flikr some time ago from a Flikr group called 365 Days. Members of the group pledged to take a self portrait every day for 365 days. You can view the results by searching under the tag “365 days”
Blackwood Photographic Club has a quiet month in December – no meetings, and no competitions – so here is the idea:
Take a photo every day for 31 days and post it on the club site with the tag “31 days”.
The photo need not be a self portrait. I expect that the pictures will create a journal of life over the month of December. There are no topics and no themes.
With this in mind, a few of us have already agreed to participate in something similar, so if your interested, we will run a 31 day challenge through the club Flikr group. You don’t have to post the photo on the same day – but please put in one photo for each day. I proposed the idea to Chris Schultz and he agreed (along with me) to take up the challenge. Ashley has also agreed.
So keep an eye on this web site and our Flickr pages to check out the results. Why not take up the challenge for yourself and join in?
Refer to the last edition of Camera Clips for details on how to set up a Flikr account and how to post images on the club site.
