Photography Challenge Presentations
Over the last six months, seven club members participated in a Photography Challenge. Each member identified an aspect of their photography that they would like to improve and worked with the group to produce a set of images that illustrated their growth in this area.
On Wednesday, the 29th, at Valentine Bowling Club, starting at 7 p.m., the participants will each share their experiences in this challenge and show how it improved their photography.
All club members are invited to attend and see great examples of how these personal challenges benefitted the participants.

Reminder and Final Information for Street Photography Group Outing – Sunday 25th August.
For those who want to have a bite to eat beforehand we will be meeting at 12 noon at Ground Up Espresso, 120 Young Street, Carrington (almost opposite the Post Office). There should be plenty of street parking.
This cafe closes at 12.30pm on Sunday and takes last orders at 12 noon but there is another cafe a short walk away called, the Fairmont Diner (corner of Cowper Street South and Young Street) that is open till 2.00pm. There are also a couple of pubs nearby.
We will aim to start our photo walk at 1.00pm. I will give a brief talk on potential risks before we set off in small groups. We will be starting at the intersection of Cowper and Young Street.
In Lott Street you will find the quietest and noisiest street in Newcastle (so described by a local today). Nearby in Bourke Street there is the historical Pump House. The streets surrounding the main shopping street are full of character and will allow you to wander and soak up the atmosphere.
Another interesting feature is a long footbridge accessible to the public that runs across the rail marshalling yards for the Port of Newcastle. From this vantage point you get a good feel of some of the port infrastructure. To access this I suggest hopping in your car and driving to the northern end of Elizabeth Street as it is a bit of a walk from where we are starting. We could target to look at this towards the end of the activity.
My mobile number is 0438 403 933. For those coming, see you Sunday.
