Photoshoot at Valentine foreshore
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.

Workshop Portfolio Presentation Night
Our workshop for this month will be held on Wednesday 25th October at Valentine Bowling Club at 7pm
Throughout the year many of our Camera Club members have been working on a portfolio of images. They have set themselves a topic and a statement of intent(what they hope to achieve)
Come along on Wednesday night when each person will give a brief outline of their topic and what they hoped to achieve.They will outline how they captured their images and how they were able to overcome any challenges.
The final image presented for each portfolio is a composite of 6 to 12 images that were captured.
Come along and be inspired!
See you there for a 7pm start. Gold coin entry.

Printing your Images at Home – ZOOM Session Tonight (18/10/23)
Our club print nights are the cornerstone of the club’s activities. A chance to display your work and obtain constructive feedback but more importantly a chance to meet fellow members and socialise in a collegiate atmosphere. If you have not entered any prints and would like some guidance in how to go about it this is the ideal opportunity to learn the process or perhaps fine tune what you are doing currently.
Bill Chambers will take you through all that you need to know on How,When,Where and Why you can print your own images from home.
Zoom in using the usual link from the website.
