Let’s eat, drink and be merry… and have one last blast of amaaaazing imagery! What to bring:
  • A plate
  • A refreshing beverage of your choice
  • A few (say, between 5 and 10) of your favourite images of the year – ones you’ve taken or ones which you love or have inspired you.
And while we’re all in the mood, there are a few housekeeping things we can also cover off on the night:
  1. Topics for Wellington Interclub (refer to Bill’s list which has been emailed out to members)
  2. Date for Wellington Interclub
  3. Venue for Wellington Interclub
  4. Ideas to do next year
  5. Any Summer outings you’d like to do
  6. Thoughts about what worked well this year and what we could do differently

Thank you for a wonderful year of photography and friendship.  🙂

Club meeting – 23 November 2016

Meeting this week

When
Wednesday 23rd November 2016, 7:30pm
Where
Karori Arts and Crafts Centre (The Newman Centre), 7 Beauchamp St, Karori
This is our second-to-last meeting of the year (unless we manage to squeeze in an outing somewhere!).  
Looking for some inspiration and direction for what to do over the Summer break?  Have you thought about doing your PSNZ Licentiateship Honours (L)?  The criteria are here and some examples are here.  
If anyone in the club has already done their L it would be great to see your set and maybe for you to talk us through why you chose those images and what it took to meet the standard.
 Wow – what amazing images!  A BIG thanks to Justin Blaikie and Hugh Davies for bringing along their L series and talking us through them.  If we’re not inspired to do our L’s then at least we were inspired to take better photos ourselves.
A reminder for those that are considering the L’s – the guidelines are here and it’s important to note:
The annual opening date for portfolios to be submitted to the Secretary of the Honours Board, with the appropriate Application forms is 16th January. The closing date is 28 February. Any submissions after this date will be returned.

I’ll provide a cheese board (I think I might bring along a bottle of wine to go with it too!).* We’ll need some volunteers to help out with setting up the room from 7pm.Well, as it turns out, this WAS the Hutt’s year!  The beat us fair and square with some great images (though ours were pretty good too!).  Here’s what was on offer…B&W Portrait 20 B&W Portrait 19 B&W Portrait 18 B&W Portrait 09 B&W Portrait 10 B&W Portrait 11 B&W Portrait 12 B&W Portrait 13 B&W Portrait 14 B&W Portrait 15 B&W Portrait 16 B&W Portrait 17 B&W Portrait 08 B&W Portrait 07 B&W Portrait 06 B&W Portrait 05 B&W Portrait 04 B&W Portrait 03 B&W Portrait 02 B&W Portrait 01

Club meeting – 26 October 2016

Meeting this Week

When
Wednesday 26th October 2016, 7:30pm
Where
Karori Arts and Crafts Centre (The Newman Centre), 7 Beauchamp St, Karori
The Hutt Battle:

  • Food
  • Minimalist
  • B&W Portrait
  • Special Effects

We had some fantastic images last meeting, but it’s not too late to consider new images so… bring your images along on a USB drive on Wednesday and we’ll run through them all and select our final 10 per category.  Mark it down in your calendar – the date of the Hutt Battle (that were hosting this year) is Wed 9th November.

The close-off for us having our 4 sets of 10 images for the Hutt Battle is this Friday (28th October).  This is to give us time to anonymise the images and to give the judge time to review and score them.  And the person who will be doing the judging is…. still a secret!

And just as one competition is about to start, we’re already looking to the next one – Karori Camera Club is the host of next year’s Wellington Interclub so it’s not too soon to start thinking of what topics you’d like for the competition (10 topics).
