The Year Ahead……..
Why a photograph of our “green machine” in the outback? All will be revealed in due course! We had a great first Share Night on Wednesday – I think 34 of us were there, so great numbers. For those who weren’t there, we missed you! I gave out lots of information last night about Camera Capers, days out, trips away etc, so thought it would be a good idea to provide you all with the info in a website post so you can note the dates down NOW!
Sunday 16th February – Camera Capers – a fun afternoon of photography at Cotton Tree, Maroochydore at 3.00 pm. We will have specific subjects to photograph and we will be asking some of our A Graders to work with AB and B Graders if needed. BYO afternoon tea if you wish, to start off, and then we will have fish and chips for dinner in the park later in the afternoon. Specific details to follow closer to the date!
Sunday 16th March – Get-together with Caboolture and Gympie Camera Clubs – Caboolture club will be hosting the day, likely at Caboolture Historical Village, where they have their clubhouse – entry to the village is $15.00 – a fun day out where we get the chance to meet up with members of other clubs and take part in a variety of activities. Full details will follow in due course.
Thursday 3rd-Monday 7th April – 4 nights (longer or shorter if you wish) – a few days at Lake Redbrook Holiday Retreat (lots of birdlife, bushwalks, pool, kayaking if you wish) not far from Childers – take your caravan/camper van/tent or book a cabin. Lovely spot not too far from wineries, Woodgate and other attractions. Please make your own bookings NOW – their website is the best place to book www.lakeredbrook.com.au or phone: 4126 6961 (sometimes they take a while to answer the phone though) – tell them you are with Sunshine Coast Photography Club – let me know if you are coming!
Saturday, Sunday and Monday, 3rd/4th and 5th May (plan to arrive Friday 2nd) – PSQ Convention at Hervey Bay at the Mantra – flyer previously available on our website. Make your accommodation bookings now – Registration for the event opens on Saturday 1st February – get in quick for earlybird fees and to check into workshops etc. Hope to see lots of you there representing our club!
Five nights (somewhere between Saturday 26th July and Monday 11th August) out at Kilcowera Station, 90 kms from Thargomindah – yes it’s a long way to go, but it is so worth it! We can stay in the Shearers’ Qtrs or bring your caravan. Check out the Kilcowera Station website, watch their video and read all the info – I’m just waiting to hear back from them to confirm dates. We had a camera club trip out there ten years ago (hence, the photo of the green machine on the red dirt tracks) and we loved it! Come and join us on a wonderful outback trip! It will be five nights there plus however long you want to take to get out there and back! Dates out there to be confirmed, but I’m asking for Expressions of Interest NOW!!
That’s all for the moment – get these dates in your diary, book your spot for Lake Redbrook and full details on each event will be out in due course!
U3A courses are now open
If you are looking for post-processing courses, check out the U3A Sunshine Coast Courses website – there are a couple available for minimal cost (although you do have to become a member of U3A to take part in one of their courses) – THEY ARE FILLING UP FAST, so get onto it now if you are interested! Great opportunity but you need to get in quick!
1st Share Night for 2025
We are all looking forward to seeing YOU on Wednesday evening, 22nd January, for our first Share Night of the year. It will be a fairly low-key, sociable evening but we will have lots of great things on the programme, so do come along and enjoy the night. Our member, Barry Beckham, will be providing us with some “Tips and Tricks” and also a rundown on Black and White photography (our March set subject). We will be having a couple of slideshows and there will be lots of information about days out, trips away, etc, so don’t miss out on hearing all about what a great year we are going to have in 2025! See you on Wednesday evening around 7 pm. Looking forward to it!
PSQ Convention 3/4/5th May 2025
Registration for the PSQ Convention 2025, being held at the Mantra, Hervey Bay, will open on 1st February 2025. The PSQ Convention is a great 3 day event suitable for all photographers and I hope a number of you will join us for the event – it’s always lots of fun and we learn heaps, listening to great speakers, attending workshops etc. The results of the SEQ comp are announced at a gala dinner too. If you are going to come, I suggest you book your accommodation as soon as possible – suggestions are made on this flyer as to where you can stay – and then register to attend anytime from 1st February on: www.trybooking.com/CXETX. Earlybird registration for the whole weekend will cost $200.00 pp, plus $60.00 pp for the gala dinner. If you want to know more about it, give me a call (0411 486 939) or send me an email!
