Gympie Trip
Information about our trip to Gympie.
We will have a number of images to be made, at 12 different locations.
We will be in groups of four members, four in one car or in two cars up to you.
Each group will take 3 or 4 photos at each location, which they will submit for judging.
At each location a close up or macro photo is to be taken, a wide angle and a standard focal length of 50mm or 35mm, depending on your camera.
We will all meet at 10 am at a cafe yet to be decided, and then move out with instructions of the order of the locations to be photographed.
There are buildings (public and a church), a street, gardens and a skate park.
You will need to use you imagination to find the 3 different types of images.
We will have lunch with a break for an hour also at a location yet to be decided.
After lunch there will be four more locations to be photographed.
We will then meet at our finish location, where images will be up loaded on to the our club’s laptop.
That should be at about 3.30.
We have a good number of members indicate that they are going to Gympie on the 21st June, and we will love be more members join us, this is one of those occasions to learn from your fellow photographers.
The judges have not been appointed yet.
If after you have read this you would like to join in, please let me know.

Change to Monthly Meetings
Please note that until further notice, in response to the challenges presented by our present COVID 19 restrictions it has been necessary to make the following changes to monthly competitions.
All Club PRINT competitions have been suspended.
Digital Projected Image (DPI) Competitions will continue as scheduled, with one important change: Entries will be limited to ONE per category to ensure that judges are able to handle the additional work involved in the online response.
If you have already entered more than one image in future competitions could you please IMMEDIATELY remove the second image of your choice, to avoid your friendly webmaster having to make a decision on which one to enter, on your behalf?
It is our intention to reinstate competitions to their original form as soon as we are able to legally and practically do so.
Thank you for your support as we continue in our effort to keep our Club as active as possible in these strange times.
Gerry Gibson. President
