Wally Bowater gave us a very lively talk about ‘making money from photography’. He made it sound so easy, something anyone could do without too much artistic talent or training just a strong determination and a ‘go get it’ attitude. Wally’s talk cut through all the s…. and said it like he sees it, honest, straight, no mystique or fancy training, or fancy gear, just take the photo, write the story, send it in. …. Rejection!! Move on.

Guest Speaker
John Perkins – Photography in London.
Our Meeting on the 9th July
We are having a general discussion and question time.
Bring cameras if you like; this may make some of the questions easier to demonstrate.
Everyone will be both the student and tutor.
Bring along questions about photography that you always wanted to know.
With such a diverse group it could be interesting.
Club night fees
Remember, a fee of $3 is collected on club nights. This covers the cost of refreshments, hall hire and puts you in the draw for digital photo paper.
McFadziens – Discount for Members
Remember McFadziens have agreed to give camera club members a 10% discount on anything photography.
Club Competition – Information on Photographs
When we present pictures for our Club Competitions could we put on the back of the photograph the camera settings. e.g. Type of Camera, ISO, Shutter speed, Aperture. Type of lens.
