Wow - just how exciting this this?
Our Presenter for this month’s Share Night on the 28th April is Drone photographer Rich Johnston from Garricks Camera House.
Rich is offering a chance for all those who are interested in a TRY/FLY experience which will start promptly at 5.00 pm at Bill’s Boat Hire Esplanade Golden Beach before returning to the Club to down load YOUR photos and for the Presentation on Drone Photography. The reason for the 5.00 pm start is that the light is starting to fade quite quickly and there are restrictions on using Drones once it is dark. It has taken over two months to procure a Drone photographer for your benefit and Rich has not only come to the forefront but has offered for YOU to have a go at flying one so please give your support by being a part of the TRY/FLY experience. Rich’s Presentation will revolve around the drone being his non-work-related photography, what he considers to be his air borne camera passion which separates his normal life photography by hundreds of feet vertically. This all began with his passion for flying since he was a young man building and flying model aircraft. It wasn’t long before attaching a very low-res camera to the model aircraft and retrieved what were simply terrible images. He has come a long way since then and is looking forward to sharing his passion on this side of his photographic with you all on the 28th. |
It would be great if you can try to arrive at about 7.00 pm for our regulation Covid 19 sign in,
then Gerry will open the meeting at 7.15 pm and give us an update on whats been happening.
See you there.

'Still Life photography is a genre of photography used for the depiction of inanimate subject matter, typically a small group of objects. Similar to still life painting, it is the application of photography to the still life artistic style. These can also include flowers and food'. |

Australia Cup 2021
The selections have been made for Australia Cup 2021. The entries were chosen from the 7, 8 and 9 awards from June 2020 to April 2021. With over 300 images to choose from it was a mammoth task having to select just 20 images and with a limit of no more than 2 images per person. Listed below are the images the selectors felt gave the best spread of images. The images will not be displayed here as 'outsiders' can view our newsletter and as the competition is not closed yet we don't want them to see our selections - but, as our Facebook page is private the images will all be there shortly for you to enjoy.
