Hello all Camera Club members
Last Meeting
9th October – Kaikohe
Annie stepped in at the last moment and did her talk on child photography. It was wonderful. Annie’s talk was on psychology as much as photography. Interacting with the children, setting the environment, and dealing with parents. She even brought along toys and rugs, not the usual for a photography talk but this is what Annie’s photography is about. She brings feelings of warmth and emotion to photography that is present in her work.
We had a good selection of pictures ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ and had a group critique on these. John has then taken them for a more in depth critique.
Coming meeting – November – Kerikeri
Date: 13th November
Time: 7 pm
Place: Cherry Park House, Kerikeri
Club Competition This month we will just concentrate on the Mountain Trophy: The set of four on ‘reflections’.
John may talk about ‘being a photographer in London’ and show us some of his shots.
(This is not confirmed yet ……… he doesn’t know.)
Previous Trophy Winners
Trophy winners from last year would you please bring in your trophies to next meeting.
Trip to Wairere Boulders
This went well, very enjoyable with about 9 people, all very enthusiastic and most doing the long walk. The weather looked slightly suspect at first but it proved to be perfect, giving good light, slightly overcast and occasionally sunny.
Members that did this walk may like to bring along a few of their best pictures in digital form (memory stick or CD) we will view them on the computer at our next meeting.
Interclub Competition – Whangarei
Congratulations go the Dargaville club for winning this year’s competition.
Annie got top picture for her child study photograph. Congratulations to Annie
Bruce Burgess (our judge) did an enlightening job at critiquing each photograph. He later showed us his work through a data show. It was stunning, the music as well as the pictures.
Unscheduled impromptu meeting with Ivan
We had an unscheduled meeting on Thursday 23rd October, Ivan Zabak from Apix Photography Supplies, Auckland. Ivan talked to us on colour management, cleaning censors, white balance and whatever subjects came up. It was very informative and fun.
