MARCH

15. Workshop: Low Light
A workshop which will enable you to treat this condition as a friend rather than an enemy

29. Competition: Book Title
At last a competition where the title is important. The image must portray the book title chosen. Images will be judged on photographic and artistic quality as well as relevance to the title.

APRIL

6-9 Easter Weekend
A club field trip will probably be planned. Confirmation nearer date.

12. Workshop: Spot Colour, put yourself into history, image stacking
A Photoshop workshop facilitated by two club members – have some fun with your images

26. Competition : Transport
Show us interesting images of transport – trains, planes and automobiles as a minimum, but any other method of moving people around qualifies.

MAY

10. Talks: Photography – my passion
Three club members will show their images and describe why they are passionate about that genre of photography. Three styles – slides, stitching photos, underwater photography.

Note:

Disposable camera orders to be finalised

24. Competition: Seen Better Days
The image will be dominated by someone or something which is old, dilapidated or decrepit.

11. Queen’s Birthday Holiday
A photographic outing somewhere.

21. Competition: Detail
The detail of an object – it need not be macro or close up but it must show a detail.

JULY

5. Guest speaker: Print Making
Lindsay Poland from City Cross Camera House with tips and information from his extensive experience as a professional print maker.

17. Competition: Edwardstown Interclub
The annual duel – this time it’s at their place so it’s Tuesday

19. Competition: Someone Else’s Art
This could be any form of artwork – a painting, a photograph, a sculpture or even graffiti! The image should aim to be interpretive rather than a mere reproduction. Add something new to the artists work!

AUGUST

2.Workshop: How to make an Audio Visual
One of the most experienced AV workers in the state will show us the basics of combining images and sound into an Audio visual.

16. Competition: Water with movement
Both water and motion must be in the image – it could be moving water, or something moving in water, or being moved by water.

These images must be taken using only the light available at the scene. The fact that light was limiting must be obvious.

OCTOBER

29-Sep to 1-Oct. Labour Day Weekend
This has often been a club outing and one will be planned during the year. We will try to organise this as a stay away overnight event to go somewhere a little further than usual. Keep the date free in your diary!

11. BPC Images Quiz Night
Images captured by club members will be the subject of the questions. Who took the shot? Where was it shot? How was it shot? So many questions, so little time!

25. Competition: Natural Light Portrait
Use those skills you acquired at the Natural lighting workshop – portraits in natural light!
