Survey link.......



 Below is a letter we have received. Here is the link to go to the survey.


Hi

I’m working on a project to plan for a range of street art installations throughout Laidley CBD over the next few years. I’d like to attend a meeting of the Laidley Camera Club and chat about the project and get some input on the planning aspect, particularly by encouraging all your members to have their say through our survey, and also to see who might be interested in further involvement such as further planning, researching/providing key historical information to be presented in art and cultural pieces, or being involved as an artist.

Would it be possible for me to attend one of your next meetings and take 5-10 mins to present the project? Participation in the surveys could be done a number of ways such as: one-on-one (5-10 mins per person) or possibly as a group, or in people’s own time/home.

I’d appreciate any participation of your group and have attached a flyer on the survey for your information.

Kind regards

Club Logo...

This is the one that has been chosen for our club Logo. It is the same design.. the second one is just is reverse. This way we can have them printed on both light and dark surfaces. I think it looks smart. Just e mail and let us know what you all think.....


Have fun everyone......


Our theme for this month is 5 Plus.



5 plus (That is an exposure of 5 seconds or more) is our theme for this months comp, so here are some tips to get you started.
1 Most important!! put your camera onto some thing solid like a tripod, a table ,or a sandbag ,you get the idea

2  If you can, use a remote trigger or the time delay on your camera.
3  Put your camera into A (aperture) mode or manual and turn the flash off!!   ISO as low as you can and set an aperture of 11 or thereabouts.
4  Pick a subject in low light ,early morn or evening or the stars on a nice clear night.
    A shaded room could work with the right subject.
If you're going for the stars check online for some great tutorials.

Get out there and give this a go because the best way to learn is by challenging your self

If you are really stuck tell us and if there are enough  people I'll organize a workshop to get you going.  

Have fun but do try you will be amazed at how much fun you will have.
 

Sorry I forgot... LOL
