Reminder photoshoot tomorrow

Our last LakeMacCameraClub Photoshoot for 2023 will happen, for members who can attend, on Monday November 6th on the foreshore in front of VBC.

Members of the Lake Macquarie radio controlled boating club will be sailing their boats in front of the club and have given the OK for camera club members to take some images.

On the day the photoshoot will be between 10am and midday, for 2hrs. In the second hour for those interested, instruction will occur to show how the PhotoPills app can be used to plan and capture sunsets over the lake.

Also there will be instruction on how to use Polarising filters and Neutral density filters, ND filters, to improve your lake and sunset images. So if you own any of these filters please bring them with you. Bring a tripod if you own one!

See you there at 10am Monday November 6th on the foreshore in front of VBC with your camera gear.
