2020 Australian Cup
The Australian Cup competition is now open to our members for entry.
We ask you to submit any two images of your choice to be considered for selection by our selection panel.
Any subject either colour or mono may be entered provided it was not entered in last year’s competition. Maximum image size is 1920 x 1200 pixels, with a maximum file size of 2MB.
Our closing date is Wednesday 6th May so that images may be selected to represent our club and be sent off.
The maximum number of entries per person is 2, so we will need at least 10 members to make up our quota of 20. This is a prestigious Australia wide club competition, so it would be good to have as many members as possible put in their best images for consideration.

Coronavirus (Covid-19)
The following is the status of all CCG meetings and outings that now apply following discussion at the Committee Meeting last night.
March 22 – Pt Cartwright early morning photo shoot – this outing will go ahead and is to be attended at member discretion. All other outings until the end of April are now cancelled as is the proposed 3 day adventure to Maryborough from May 15 – 18.
March 25, April 22 – Share Nights – both meetings are cancelled.
April 8 – ‘Summer’ Competition night – part cancelled. Due to the logistics involved we will be cancelling the Print section of the April competition. To arrange a depot for the collection of prints, to then have them sorted into A & B Grades, then into each section and then transported to the judge in Brisbane could prove to be a nightmare. Instead all print images will receive a zero score in MPC. The good thing is you will be able to enter all those print images later in the year into any section of a competition you wish. Please enter your print images for our May competition as usual – a decision will be made closer to the date advising whether the print section will go ahead. The DPI section of our April competition will go ahead as normal. Judging for DPI’s is done remotely with the results posted on to MPC electronically in the usual manner.
We have no idea how long the current crisis will last, the committee will review the situation at committee meetings and advise you accordingly. All decisions made will be based on Government and health authorities advice and fir the well-being of our members.
If you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact me.

Congratulations Lorraine and Jane
Two of our very clever members entered a photographic competition in Brisbane recently to celebrate International Women’s Day. Their entries were selected and exhibited at the recent Femme Exhibition held at CameraPro Brisbane.
Well done Jane and Lorraine, you are an inspiration to us all.

Long Exposure Photography
Learn long exposure from those who have had the experience.
Meet at Point Cartwright at 5.15 on the 22nd of March, in the far car park.
From there we walk down onto the beach, there, there are rocks with the waves breaking over then. There will also be a chance to capture the sunrise if the clouds behave themselves.
The sun rises at 5.50 am, so we can be in position the witness that.
Breakfast will be at 7.30 am at One on La Balsa, giving us 2 hours to find the beautiful swirling water and photographing it.
Take Camera – Spare Battery – Tripod – Filters – Appropriate Clothing & Footwear
Ring me 0419 308 006 or place your name in the book at the next meeting.
