Wednesday 24 July 7.15pm Roy Killen presents “Resizing Images”

Our club competitions require digital images to fit within specific size limitations (1920 x 1200 pixels and 2MB file size). Our print competitions place limits on print sizes. Do you know how can you transform the photographs that you capture into high quality images that meet the limitations of our EDI and print competitions?  In many cases you will need to reduce the size of your image files, in other cases you will need to enlarge them. Do you know the best ways to do that? Get answers to these and many other questions at next Wednesday’s presentation by Roy Killen

Belmont 16s Photography Club Exhibitions May – June 2019

The exhibitions were very successful and drew a lot of visitors and complimentary comments. The success was due to the hard work of Katherine James and the team who helped organising the images. Thanks to Katherine, Susan Slack, Thomas Buckwalter, Bill Chambers, Jill Helps, Roy Killen and Colin Schofield.

The exhibitions involve a lot of hard work and it was wonderful to have the above members volunteer their time and labour.

Have you entered the Lake Macquarie National Exhibition of Digital Photography 2019 ?

The closing date for entries is Sunday 4 August 2019. Now is the time to “strut your stuff” and that of your club. It is also time for you to support the competition’s Executive Chairman, Roy Killen, who spends hours organising this event. Remember that chap who does so many of our presentations and generously shares his notes?

The competition does not cost an arm an a leg, and, if you use your club award winners, it takes very little effort as well!

Please encourage the young members of your family and friends to enter the Youth Section. It is a wonderful way for them to begin their photographic journey.
