SHARE NIGHT – Weds night, 22nd July – TREASURER’S TROPHY !!

Just a reminder that on Share Night, next Wednesday 22nd July, we will be celebrating our Treasurer’s Trophy night! Jeff Heck, our past Treasurer, will be coming for the evening and will impact judge all the entries which will be on display for us all to see. Do come along, enjoy a glass of wine with some delicious nibbles, enjoy a relaxing evening catching up with all your camera club friends (both old and new) – we will have a couple of other items to keep you all busy, plus coffee and some sweet treats too (so don’t have a big dinner before you come!) before the big announcement of who has won the Treasurer’s Trophy this year! Looking forward to seeing you all there from 7.00 pm onwards!

“Bokeh” images needed!

One of the subjects this year in the Tewantin Shield competition (which we enter as a Club towards the end of August) is BOKEH and we really need a number of images from our members in order to make a selection for our entry! The definition given for this particular competition is: “BOKEH – Out of focus highlights that are pleasing to the eye. The image may have a subject in focus for interest (eg. in the image above, you could have a small subject/person/object perhaps in the foreground), but the bokeh must be the majority of the image.” If you haven’t tried Bokeh before, check out all the information available on line and do please have a go at taking some images with Bokeh as the feature of the image. Send your images to me by email as soon as possible (thanks to those few people who have already contributed some images), sized as per our normal competition size – email: abryan@bigpond.net.au – thank you!

Share Night (Weds 24 June) and Trip to Mundubbera (September)

This is the only photo I’ve ever taken of a turtle (not a great shot!) – as you can see, I wasn’t in the water, but took it from the clifftop on Stradbroke Island! On Share Night this week (Wednesday 24th June), we have one of our favourite presenters returning to our club – CONNI WEISE! Conni takes the most wonderful photos of all underwater creatures and has, more recently, been on the hunt for frogs and tiny spiders – do come along and enjoy Conni’s wonderful enthusiasm for photography and for all the beautiful creatures she manages to capture in her images – we will be starting right on 7.00 pm – see you there!

TRIP TO MUNDUBBERA – we are planning a four night trip to Mundubbera from Monday 14th September (departing Friday 18th September) – do hope some of you will be able to join us! We are staying at the Three Rivers Caravan Park – either bring along your van or book a cabin/motel room at the Park – contact them on 4165 3000 to make your booking (let them know you are part of Sunshine Coast Photography Club). We have a fantastic itinerary underway so it will be a great opportunity to spend time with friends from the club and, hopefully, take some great photographs!
