Street is Neat – with some practice afterwards!
While next year’s set subject list hasn’t been finalised, a little birdy has been whispering that one of the subjects might possibly maybe involve Street Photography.
Just to be sure everyone is up to speed on what that might be, on Wednesday night we will welcome back our guest speaker Peter Mitchelson.
Like most of us, Peter’s equipment and techniques may have changed over time but his love of photographing the real world has remained. Many may call it “Street Photography”, he just think of it as “photography”.
He will take us through some examples of “Street Photography” from the days before hand held cameras through to the advent of the 35mm format and consider its impact on photography.
We will look at some different “styles” as well as what we can target when we get on the street. For anyone who can make it we will do a walkabout the Caloundra Markets this Sunday and try and put some of this into practice and see what we can see.
Just to be sure – that’s Wednesday next 27th September – hopefully we’ll see you in our clubroom then!

PSQ Judges Forum
Hi All,
We received this invitation from PSQ recently. For those who might be interested in pursuing judging as an affiliated judge with PSQ please read following.
If you could let me know if you are interested and when I receive the link I will forward it to you.
“I would like to extend an invitation to the Judge’s Forum to be held via ZOOM on September 16 at 2:00 p.m. It is open to accredited judges, understudies and any of your club members considering becoming a judge.
I know our clubs have many very talented photographers, and PSQ provides a service to your clubs and needs more people to step up for the benefit of all our members.
The judge’s manual is available to download from the PSQ Website and details the role of a judge. It is not an arduous task, and the more load can be spread, the better for everyone.
A link to log into the ZOOM session will be sent a few days before; everyone is free to attend. I encourage your members to participate in the session and come along to listen to our guest speakers.
Cheers

Perhaps the funniest thing I’ve done all week is to wait until just a few hours before it starts to send out a reminder of tonight’s share night!
OOPS!
And don’t forget the greatest, most anticipated competition of the year is closing tonight too. Even if your entry isn’t particularly funny, we’ll laugh at it, I promise!
CI YA tonight!
