Meeting Wed 8th March

General meeting of the Yea Camera Club Inc. held Wednesday 8th March in the RSL room.

Present: Kerry Gouldthorpe/  Phil Glowacki/  Alan Cole/  Ann Potts and Andrew Potts  Alan Synnott/  Ann Anstey / Joy and John Clayton/  Marie Hanby/  Michael Minter/  Gidget Knight / Colin Whiteway/  Stuart Mc Lennan

Peter Dunphy gave a presentation on Professional Landscape Photography. He illustrated a series of guidelines:

Structures and Templates.
The Hogarth  S
Liveliness v Diagonals
Divide the picture into 4 and have something interesting in each.
Vanishing point for lines. Strong lines can disappear outside the shot.
Front and Centre
Compositional Thirds
Tonality  Focus   Colour

A good professional knows what the shot is before picking up the camera. Location research is 90% of the job. See everything before you shoot anything. It’s all about the light – golden 20 minutes!
Camera gear – Outstanding optics and good sensor plus a tripod.

Folio piece
This year, this concept will replace our homework. Over the year the aim is to produce six pieces of our very best work which can be entered into our Melbourne Cup competition, be displayed in our January display and also be ready for the assessment process for the VAPS Inter Club competition. 

The monthly topics will be aligned as far as possible with the monthly presentations. Your submission can be a print presented at the next meeting or a digital sent to Alan Cole and the concept is that it will then be positively reviewed by the members present. Hopefully suggestions will enable you to improve the image so that the final result is as good as you can make it.

This month’s topics are Landscape or Flora/fauna.

Ann Potts reported on the visit to the Blue Lotus Farm outing.
