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.

Wednesday 10 July 7.15pm Presentation Night – Bill Chambers

Bill Chambers will be presenting Basic Flash Techniques.

We have enjoyed several of Bill’s presentations this year and this one promises to be both interesting and informative. Bill has demonstrated his passion for continuous learning. He generally comes up with something new to add to you bag of tricks!

Thank you Roy Killen

After tonight’s session, no-one in our club should be frustrated by their photographic problems!

The questions were wide and varied and the solutions were simply explained. Everyone who attended took away some terrific pearls of wisdom. The session also reinforced some principles, often overlooked by the most experienced photographers,

What became obvious to me was that a lot of our members are not taking advantage of the training documents. You will find them on at the bottom of the Presentation Schedule page.

Thank you Roy for another presentation, filled with great information.
