Call for photos!
As you all know, there are a group of us putting together a Photobook for the APS Photobook awards this year. The book is coming together really well, thanks to the amazing photos and words you have all sent in so far – thanks so much!
We have one more request of you all please. To top off the book, we need an amazing cover photo for our book. We are looking for a photo that screams “Sunshine Coast”. If you have a photo that you think is perfect and are happy for us to use could you please send it to Di at di.east1000@gmail.com
We have a few formatting requirements to make sure that your photo looks as amazing as possible on our cover. Any photo you send must be
- 5000 x 3500 pixels (at a minimum)
- as high a resolution as possible
- one that you would be happy for us to crop a little if we need to
We will need these photos by this Friday (5th August) at the latest. Thanks in advance.

Photobook competition
As you may be aware, Di, Ty, Gerry, Douglas, Trefor, Tony and I are entering the APS Photobook competition as a club. The theme that we have decided on is the 25th Anniversary of our camera club. We thought that this was too good an opportunity for us to celebrate such a great milestone AND to showcase the great work of our wonderful members.
One part of the Photobook is going to be a photo from each of our current members. Last week we got together and looked over all of the photos that received a 3 or more this calendar year of all of our current club members and we chose what we thought were your best images and the ones that would flow the best together as a cohesive book.
Below you will see a table with your name and the name of the image that we have selected to go into our celebratory photobook for this competition. What we would like from you please, is a high quality digital image of the photo that we have next to your name. Please feel free to make some small changes to this image if you would like, based on the feedback that you received from the judge on the night. (I know that I have to straighten my horizon).
We would also love you to just write one paragraph about your photograph, so that we can learn about it. Where was it taken? What was happening on the day? What this something special for you? Were you trying something new?
We need these high quality images (as large as you have) as soon as possible, so that we can get this work of art off to the printer and ready for the competition. We will need all your photos by Friday 15th July at the very latest.
