September Meeting.....

What a night... A big thank you to Gerard Saide for his talk on the 10 greatest photos of all time. A couple certainly left a lasting impression with me. I think the one taken of Earth from way out in space was absolutely amazing..... makes us realize... we may be really alone and in the overall picture we are pretty insignificant. I will never forget the vulture and child photo.

Thank you to all who attended and a big welcome to our new members.

Our next competition is Trees... it really was harder then I first thought it would be..... but I did enjoy the challenge.

Here are the entries we have so far... please send your photos to me if you haven't already done so already.

Club Logo

As you will remember, last meeting we asked if you could all think about what we could use as a club logo. Well here are some for us to have a look at. You will notice that some have prices beside them. These are ones that someone has designed and that is their price to have them done up with our club's info. Some are free clip art.
So please have a look and vote for your top two. We will then work out which one is most popular and we will then use that as our club logo. It will go on all of our stationery and also on our blog and Facebook page. Eventually we will have shirts printed out, so when we go on a shoot we will look like a club... plus it will be easy to find one of us if we get lost...LOL

Just e mail Garry or myself with your choices.

Have fun and I hope you have all been out snapping shots of trees. Ron and I spent a lovely couple of hours at the Gatton Uni yesterday morning taking tree photos... but as happens before we knew it we were both sitting quietly trying to get that elusive fantastic bird shot. 

Ron did take a tumble while we were there... I was not near him, but I could see him on the ground through some trees. I ran... well fast walked... no more running in these old legs...LOL Got around the stand of trees and here he is, on his back, camera in hand taking a darn photo..... He went sown with his camera in his hands, rolled and kept taking shots....... Dedicated or what...?????

See you all at the next club night.

29th September club meeting....

For our next meeting could you all bring your cameras and manuals. We are going to spend the first 30 minutes going over anything that you do not understand on your camera. We will try to have one on one help. Think about anything you do not understand on your camera and be ready to ask for help. There is bound to be someone who will know how to solve the problem.
