Club Photographic Display and Promotional Opportunity

Hi everyone!

Our Club has been offered a fantastic opportunity to show off its members’ photographic skills and promote what we as a Club can offer. But we need members to contribute!

The Friends of Berowra Valley is holding a Fauna Fair at the Berowra Community Centre auditorium on Sunday, 17 March. Our Club has been asked to stage an exhibition of nature images and the entire centre of the auditorium is being made available to us. We envisage around 10-12 stands of images so we need of lots of photos!

Elaine will be co-ordinating the selection of images and we’re asking all members to think about what images they can offer. Images do not need to be restricted to fauna but should be nature-oriented (ie no pets or domesticated animals, no cultivated plants, landscapes are fine. Preference will be given to images from Australia.

Please bring any suitable images (at least A4 or 8″x12″ and mounted) to our next meeting (Tuesday, 20 February). If you’re not sure that your images are suitable, you could email a resized digital version (no more than 2Mb) to Elaine (elaine.holliday@ymail.com) as soon as possible.

Bob will be co-ordinating our exhibition on the day so he will need members to help transport and set up the display (from 9:00am), staff it until 3:00pm and take it down. If you can volunteer 2 hours or so on the day, please contact him on bob.sendt@gmail.com).

Welcome Back evening – This Tuesday 30th January

Dear Members,

We look forward to welcoming you back to club this Tuesday 30th January.

Following on from Nilmini’s presentation last year on Creating Competition Images, she will be sharing with us a second presentation called “Creating Compelling Images’. Images need narrative to be effective as visual impact alone may not be enough to engage your audience. Photography is a wonderful tool to construct narrative and Nil will be discussing how light, colour, technique, and image placement all contribute to a great story. This presentation will be an interactive one, where you will get the chance to look at images from different photographers and have a lively discussion with your peers.

Jakki will share some inspiration on this years set subjects.

Mat cutting with Sonia. Why pay someone else to cut your mats when you can learn to cut them yourself, using our clubs mat cutter. Sonia will do a quick demonstration and then it’s your turn. If you’d like to take this opportunity to cut yourself a mat, bring along some mat board and see how easy it is to create your own beautiful mats. Mat board is available from all good Art supplies, such as Art Scene in West Ryde.

The evening will finish with a light supper

We hope to see you there.

Warm Regards

Your Committee.
