MACRO AND CLOSE-UP PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP

A Zoom workshop on Macro and Close-Up Photography will be held next week. The details are:

1. The meeting will occur on Wednesday 10^th June commencing at 7pm and will last for approximately 90 minutes. The presenter is Roy Killen.
2. Topics covered will include: equipment options, lighting options, processing options, subject selection and overcoming challenging issues such as depth of field.
3. The workshop is available only for members of the Belmont 16s Photography Club.
4. To prepare for participation you must have the Zoom software on your computer or device. If you have not participated in a previous Zoom meeting go to https://zoom.us/download and download the “Zoom Client for Meetings”.  I suggest you do this as soon as possible and contact Greg Carruthers (the club’s Zoom co-ordinator) if you have any problems.
5. To participate in the Macro workshop you must also email Greg so that he can add you to the list of participants. If you previously registered for Greg’s Lightroom workshops you will automatically be added to the participant list for this new workshop – you don’t have to contact Greg.
6. On Wednesday afternoon all participants will receive an email from me with a link inviting them to join the workshop via their computer or device. You can use this link from 6.30pm to make sure you are ready for the 7pm start.

You can find contact details for Greg and me in the “Members” link on the club website if you select “Members Directory”.

PSA Interclub Competitions

Results are in for Round 2 of the Nature competition. We came 2^nd and are now sitting in 3^rd place overall out of 24 clubs.

Entries for Round 3 of the PSA Interclub competitions close on 1^st April – normal entry procedure on our club website.

When you select the section to enter – Open (Colour or mono), Nature, Photojournalism or Photo Travel you will be able to see the entries of other club members. This might help you to decide which of your images to enter, particularly in Nature, PJ and Travel, so that you are not entering images that are very similar to others. (This is a new feature that was not previously enabled.)

If you view the entries for the Round 2 competitions, you will be able to see the score that each image obtained when our Advanced Grade members were selecting the club entries. (This is a new feature that was not previously enabled.)

Please contact me if you have any questions about the PSA Interclub competitions.
