Here’s a chance to show your best images from the Cuba St Carnival and salsa@sunset (or any other
recent images). Get hints for improving your results if you didn’t get what you were hoping for and
can’t work out why. Come prepared with any questions you need answers for.

Touched by the Light

10:00 am to 4:00 pm

Firday 21st November to Thursday 27th November 
Figaro Atrium 
Malvina Major Retirement Village 
134 Burma Road, Khandallah

This is our last meeting before our exhibition, so if you absolutely can’t make it to the hanging on Thursday 20th (4.45pm till however long it takes), please bring your exhibition pictures to this meeting (though of course we would prefer that you come and help with the hanging!).

We could also take a look at photos from our outing to Courtenay Place on 1 October – just a small selection, say 6 max each.

Then Carol Anderson and Gayle Cullwick will treat us to a tour of Antarctica. Carol and Gayle have enticed us with a few select images for the interclub battles, so this is an opportunity to see a wider sample of their work.

With the end of the year coming up, it’s time to think about the programme for next year, and who the club officers are going to be. Please let us know your thoughts on activities you’d like to see more of, and anyone you know of that would be an interesting guest speaker. And please put your hand up if you’d like to take a more active role in the club management – surely someone would like to be the newsletter editor?

Going commercial – Robyn Greening and Bill Alp

Robyn gave up her full-time job in the health sector in 2005 to do the Massey diploma of photography. She’ll show us what that involved, then talk us through the ins and outs of setting up a photography business. Her partner Bill is a keen b&w photographer and has always done his own traditional darkroom printing, including the prints for Robyn’s business. Bill has just closed his darkroom though, and you’ll find out why.

Even if you’re not planning on going commercial or doing a full-time photography course, you’ll still pick up heaps of interesting and helpful info – and, of course, see some good photography.

And then there’ll be supper! Could everyone please bring some food to share.

We intend to try something a little different. At the end of the last meeting, we set a theme “Regret” and asked people to bring along up to 6 recent photos that meet the theme. Interpretation of the theme is up to each photographer. For each photographer, we will display their set of 6 and by vote decide on their best 3.

Depending on the response, we might have to try something else. As mentioned in the Newsletter, that could be a surprise!

As usual 7:30 p.m at the Karori Arts and Crafts Center.
