June Meeting

1. We have a presentation on the night by Alan Cole on Flash photography. There will be a practical session afterwards,so please bring your camera,your popup flash and your off camera flash if you have one. Please make sure that your equipment has fully charged batteries.You should know how to operate your flash including power adjustments. It may be helpful to bring along your manuals. The presentation will not be about how to operate your particular brand of flash.

Thanks to Alan for his work.

2.Not related to the first topic, but this month’s Capture an Idea is Flashy. Please bring your print on the night.

3. Remember your homework – Night Landscape. Two photographs. As this coming weekend is holiday long weekend, we have given you an extension of time to get them to Alan Cole.   Please send by Tuesday morning. Sending photos electronically is much the preferred option. It saves time on the night and gives more time for the monthly topic.

See you Wednesday night.

May Meeting

Hi all

The next meeting of the Yea Camera Club will be held on Wednesday 13th May in the Yea RSL at 7.00pm

The topic for the night is NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY, and through the efforts of our hard working President we have a guest presenter.

Luke Donegan is a local young man from Strath Creek studying photography at RMIT. Luke will show us some of his night images taken under the clear skies of Strath Creek and discuss how he constructed them. He will also share with us his award winning photos and talk about the techniques he used and how they were created. Lukes work has been recognised for its excellence and is currently on display at the Museum of Victoria with other TOP ARTS until July this year.

The plan for Wednesday will be to do our capture and idea from 7 - 7.15pm. Then cover other club business briefly until 7.30. Luke will talk for an hour 7.30 - 8.30. we will then have a break and do the rest of our club business after that - ie look at homework.
