Our Next Meeting – August 11
This is our ‘Noir’ Comp Night – the definition is… ‘Noir is the French word for black. Noir is characterised by moody, dark and dramatic images that look straight out of a crime scene filmed in the 60’s. The images are emotive and have a highly specific look to them in lighting, contrast and composition.’
It would be great if you can try to arrive at about 7.00 pm for sign in.
The meeting will open at 7.15 pm with an update on what’s been happening and judging will commence at 7.30 pm.
See you there.
Don’t forget next Wednesday night is also the closing date for entries to our September Competition ‘Colour Echoing’, the definition for that is….’Find a subject of colour – building, billboard, car etc, then use another object or persons clothing of similar colour to echo your chosen colour’ For mono images only the primary subject and the echo will be in colour, the remainder in monochrome.
Should lockdown continue for us you will be notified of the arrangements for attending the meeting on line.

Submission Date Change for Annual Awards
The new date for submission to ALL our categories for the Annual Awards has been brought forward to this Friday, November 13 at midnight.
This change has been necessitated because the latter date did now allow enough time for all the trophies to be updated to show the 2020 recipients.
We do apologise for this and trust this will cause you minimal inconvenience.

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.
