Karori Camera Club

Hi All

The next meeting is titled "Selecting Images for the Central Regional".

To put things in context. The PSNZ Central Regional is being
held from 29th to 31st October. See the webiste available at
http://www.kcps.org.nz/OneStepCloser/Art.html

In conjunction with the Convention, a Photography Salon is also run.
There are a number of different sections

* Inter Club Print Competition - 6 prints from each Club
* Inter Club Digital Competition - 8 digital images from each Club
* Individual Print Competition (Open/Nature, 2 images per category)
* Indiviudal Digital Competition (Open/Nature, 2 images per category)

Closing date is 1st October

All the details are available at
http://www.kcps.org.nz/OneStepCloser/Salon.html

At our next meeting, we should try and work out what images we are
going to enter as a club for the Inter Club.

So bring digitial versions of images that you would like considered.

As a starter what about using the winning images from the
Wellington Interclub?

Finally, one interesting rule to note is

"Where a club or society has fewer than 40 members, then a maximum of
two members may enter two images in the selection only if it’s
necessary to make up the selection"

Regards
Mark

Guest Speaker: Jenny O’Connor

We are fortunate to once again have Jenny O’Connor show us some of her
work. In Jenny’s own words

“For me photography is about telling stories. The story might be
captured in one image or a series of images, it might be captured as
it really was or as an interpretation of what happened - it doesn’t
matter as long as the story touches the viewer in some way”.

Start time is 7:30 p.m

• For the initial selection on 29 June we we will select the top 3 entries for each category by popular vote.
• For the final selection on 4 August, we will use an external judge/selector.
• For this final selection, images should be printed, but not necessarily matted.

Guest Speaker: David Arthur

The key ingredient for any Photograph is Light. David, a member of the
Wellington Photographic Society and an active participant in the
Society's f-stop special interest group, has a keen appreciation of this.

David is going to show some of his work and in particular the series on
painting with light.

Start time is 7:30 p.m
Karori Arts and Crafts Centre (Newman Centre),

Guest Speaker: Yope Bon

Yope, who is a retired Wedding and Portrait Photographer, did a commendable job critiqueing and judging the 2009 Karori/Hutt interclub competition. So much so that I thought we could all benefit from an opportunity to have our work constructively critiqued.

Each member can bring up to 3 digital images for viewing and critiquing by Yope. Images can be of any subject.

Start time is 7:30 p.m
Karori Arts and Crafts Centre (Newman Centre),
