Coffee catch-up
Our first, very informal, coffee catch-up will be at the Lake Macquarie Yacht Club next Monday January 15th at 9.30am. Everyone is welcome, just come along for a coffee, chat and catchup. We will meet somewhere on the back deck, weather permitting. Bring your camera if you wish. There are always photo opportunities at the Yacht Club to grab a quick snap. Do you have a camera settings or photography question you need answered? Well there should be a person there that will be able to help.
Time to get caffeinated ! See you there

PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE 2024
This year a new learning opportunity is being offered to club members in the form of a Photography Challenge. This is a personal challenge, not a competition.
Members who participate will select an area of interest (e.g. portraits) and work through a guided series of activities to improve their capture and editing techniques. They will meet with other club members in Zoom sessions to share their progress and receive advice from a mentor. Detailed information is available here.

Photoshoot for January
Our first workshop for Wednesday January 24th will be a boardwalk and sunset photoshoot at “Pirrita Island” Swansea beginning at 6pm with the sunsetting over the lake at 8pm. This area offers plenty of photographic opportunities so come along and enjoy the fun! There will be no workshop at VBC!
We will meet in the car park at approx 5.50pm. Finding the carpark is easy with a Google Maps search for “Pirrita Island carpark and foreshore” giving exact location. You should be on a bitumen road with caravan park on your LHS.
Bring your camera and maybe some insect repellant ( there maybe some sand flies and mozzies)
See you there GregC
