Membership Renewal 2023 to 2024 – Reminder

A special thanks to those members who have already sent in their Lake Macquarie Camera Club membership forms, paid their club fees and have joined Valentine Bowling Club and provided a copy of their membership card showing that it is current for 2024.

For those members who have not yet renewed their membership you have until the 30^th June to renew. We need to set this deadline so that we can close off the annual membership renewal process. After this date we will be assuming that past members of Belmont 16s Photography Club do not intend to join our new club and their access to the club website and ability to enter club competitions will be removed. New people joining the club or old members who miss the 30^th June deadline can of course apply to join the club anew.

As you can appreciate we have a few gaps in information to fill in so over the coming weeks we will be contacting some people to make sure we have all the relevant information. We appreciate your continued support.

Zoom Workshop “Mastering Exposure”

Hi everyone, our Zoom workshop this week is on Wednesday 17th May at 7pm and Roy Killen will be presenting.

TOPIC: Mastering Exposure – Getting exposure correct requires much more than just putting your camera on Program or Auto and hoping for the best. This presentation will explore some of the challenges of getting optimal exposure and explain how you can use various camera exposure modes, metering modes and exposure compensation to avoid exposure problems. If you have ever wondered why some of your images have been over-exposed or under-exposed then this is a must attend session.

Have your questions ready. If you don’t know the answer, chances are there are many others who are just like you! Don’t be afraid to ask as we are all here to learn how to master our cameras and to improve on the images we capture.

Members can follow the Zoom link on our website with the meeting open from 6.45pm for a 7pm start. SEE YOU THERE!

Wangi Workers Camera Club Invitation

For those members who may be interested I have received an invitation from Colleen Price to attend a presentation by Robin Moon at Wangi Workers Camera Club Auditorium on Monday 22 May at 7 pm.

“At the end of 2022 and into early 2023 I had the opportunity to spend 2 months shooting in extreme weather conditions. Firstly in Antarctica, and then in North America, where temperatures reached to -23c.

Not only were the environments a visual and sensory delight, but the challenges of shooting safely in extreme weather were quite a challenge. This will be a story of a heartfelt journey where daily, words could not adequately describe the magic I found. Large landscape composition, high key shooting and wildlife challenges will be themes of this story.”
