As the “Australian Geographic 2023 Nature Photographer of the Year”, with a rich background collaborating with Canon Australia, Australian Photography Magazine and the Australian Museum, I bring a wealth of experience to this topic. In this presentation, I will share my photography journey, delve deeply into compositional techniques, and offer insights into how to enhance your landscape photography. We will also have a Q&A session to address your queries, and I will provide a brief overview of something I call The Map and my Landscape Photography Workshops, which will include an exclusive discount for attendees.

Proposal to change Club Grades and Print Competition Entries
The club offers a range of competitions to members as a means for members to improve their photographic skills. It has been apparent for some time that we are getting insufficient print entries in B Grade to have a viable competition. As a result your committee is intending to make some changes next year by changing the club competition grades and the number of print competitions members can enter.
Rather than the current three grades – B, A and Advanced, we intend to only have an Open and Advanced Grade in 2025.
What does this mean:
- Those members who are in A and B grade will be in Open Grade in 2025 for print and digital competitions.
- Advanced Grade members who would like to move to Open Grade can request a regrading to Open Grade by contacting Roy Killen or Bill Chambers.
- A Grade members who have done well in 2024 competitions will be approached to step up to Advanced Grade.
This process will take place once the October competition results are finalised.
In the same vein of streamlining club activities and having more viable competitions we are proposing to no longer offer Small Print competitions next year.
If you have any concerns or comments about these changes please speak to one of your committee members by the end of September so feedback can be considered at the October committee meeting.
