November Club Night

Our next club night will be at the Valentine Bowling Club at 7.00pm on Wednesday 9th November. Our meeting will start as normal at 7.00pm with a presentation by myself on a road trip through Namibia I undertook in 2017. Following the presentation, we will have our normal break for refreshments and raffles, then a viewing of 2022 IOTY results.

This month for those that are interested we are going to include a practical session on capturing panoramic images on the lake foreshore adjacent to the club prior to the start of the November meeting. This session will be led by Greg Carruthers and will start at 5.30pm. This is obviously dependent on the weather so please keep this in mind. We will provide updates via posts on the club website closer to the time.  If you are interested, please RSVP to Greg by Monday 7th November (0410 629 620, gkcarruthers@gmail.com ) if you intend to come along. For best results bring your tripod and L bracket and/or nodal rail if you have one. Greg will demonstrate both.

Note: This activity is at member’s own risk. The club does not have PL Insurance. The activity will involve walking around the foreshore area adjacent to the Valentine Bowling Club so dress accordingly.

Astronomy Photoshoot

This Saturday night (tomorrow) is looking like an ideal night to try and capture some ‘Nightscape” images

I will be venturing out to capture some images and was hoping there may be some club members that may like to join me?

Location – Eagles Nest Lookout Green Point

How to get there – Turn at Belmont Hospital into Greenpoint drive. Follow the road till it ends and find a park.

Time – I will be there at 7.45pm and leave for the lookout at 8pm It is an easy flat walk of approx 300m along a concrete pathway.

What to bring – A torch, camera gear (including a wide angle lens 14mm to 35mm if possible) and tripod are all essential

If you attend please note this activity is at members own risk and is at night. It will be dark so bring a torch!

Any members who are thinking of attending are asked to contact me via email or text. Contact details can be found in members area of website.
