HHCC – Club Outing to the Australian White Water Slalom Championships

Hi Members,

Our club outing to attend the final day of the White Water Slalom Championships will be on Saturday 15th April. This will be held at Penrith White Water Water Stadium. It is a great opportunity to practice high shutter speed photography and get some great sport shots for our upcoming competition.

Dave Curtis is coordinating this event. If you will be attending please send Dave a text so he can keep track of numbers. The center is not easily accessible by public transport so we will look to arrange car pooling on the day once we have numbers.

You will find the flyer for this event here.

Thanks!

HHCC – Opera House Interior Shoot

• Sunday, December 18, 2022
• 9:15 AM 10:45 AM 
• Cost:   $65.00 per person 

GREAT NEWS SandraD Imagery is excited to offer you a chance to capture the stunning architecture from inside the Opera House. GOOD NEWS THE CONCERT HALL is now open and has been added to the tours.

Join me on a 1 hour private guided tour led by a Sydney Opera House guide where you can capture the angles and textures of this truly amazing building. You will be able to photograph the beautiful interior as we move around the building and learn the history and interesting facts of this amazing structure. You will have plenty  of opportunities to capture images of this stunning building. I have arranged the first tour of the morning, which gives us the opportunity to walk the building and shoot without crowds .

There may be restrictions where we will not be able to take photos, as this does not come under the Opera House licensing agreements.  Please note this not a workshop or photoshoot, we have to fall in line with the time lines of Sydney Opera House.

The Sydney Opera House is Australia’s most recognizable building and the most photographed icon of Sydney. Here are some interesting facts – More than 8.2 million people from Australia and around the world visit it each year and some 300,000 people take part in guided tours.

This is not a Sydney Opera House operated site, however you will join a guided tour at Sydney Opera House, when you make a booking you are doing so via a third party company with no direct affiliation to Sydney Opera House.

HHCC – Aussie Bird Count!

The Aussie Bird Count – Oct 17-23 

Register to help science by counting Aussie birds, and while you are at it … practice your nature/bird photography.

HHCC Member Marion, says “all it takes is some time and patience” … so why not metaphorically ‘kill two birds with one stone’ …  

Book some time in your calendar and step into your backyard or local reserve and ‘count/snap birds’

More info at https://aussiebirdcount.org.au/

Thanks,

Corinna
