Month: December 2012

Just a reminder about the meeting this Wednesday. It is being held
instead of the normal meeting in the first week of the month because
of the PSNZ Convention that week.

It is the evening where we get to show our Karori Cemetery images.

I suggest that everyone bring along up to 6 images and we will take a
look at them.

Can people please size images to 1024px on the longest side?

Can people please name images as follows?

And Bruce Girdwood said that he would be popping in with the NZ Camera
annuals for those who are members of the PSNZ and who haven’t received
theirs yet.

Oh and one other thing, in case you didn’t notice, one of our members
and the Karori Camera Club featured in the local community newspaper.

Just a friendly reminder about the meeting on this Wednesday. It is the
first challenge of the year – Shadow

Each member provides six images. The rest of the group choose the best
three, which are then used for the end of year presentation.

Remember, that the idea is to get people out and shooting and to
encourage a bit of creativity. We would rather that you did not trawl
your archives for images. So any photos taken from December 2010 onwards
are available for consideration.

Can people please size images to 1024px on the longest side?

Guest Speaker: Fred Wotton

The guest speaker for this evening is Fred Wotton. He has been a long
time member of the Wellington Photographic Society. He takes panoramas
when travelling in New Zealand or overseas as a memory of his travels
and as a way of recording the scenery he has seen.

Fred will talk through the methods he uses and will display some of
his work.

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

A reminder about the meeting this week. The topic is “6 Pictures from
the last year. Bring along 6 of your images, taken during the last year,
that are photographically important to you.

Pictures can be digital or print. We will show each member’s images and
then discuss. Similar to the way we do the challenges, only no voting.

A number of people have asked when we are going to show the cemetery
photos. We have a gap in the calendar on the 30th March. So unless
anyone has objections, we will use that date.

The first meeting is our summer outing, and hopefully the good weather will hold. If it does, the plan is to meet at the Karori Cemetery at 76 Old Karori Road, Karori at 19:30 on the 2nd February.

Details at the website indicate they close at dusk. Sunset is scheduled for 20:40 on the 2nd. So that gives about an hour of shooting and then we can adjourn to a local watering hole.

If the weather turns to custard, then we will meet at the Karori Arts and Crafts Center instead.
