MyPhotoClub suffered a significant system failure and is undergoing recovery.
A new version of the system is being implemented as part of the restoration process.
Because of this many features previously enjoyed on the site are not currently available
Rest assured, all previous features will be restored over time. Possibly even better!
This is where the widgets such as the calendar will be displayed.
The final excursion for the year will be to the Hunter Valley Gardens Shopping Village.
Meet up in the carpark at 9:00 AM.
Tuesday 12th of November – Presentation by Ian English
This week members from our camera club will benefit from Ian English’s extensive knowledge and experience in entering national and international photographic competitions. Ian will present an overview of photographic honours systems that members can utilise to support them in tracking the development of their photographic skills and knowledge. Ian will share with us some of his award winning images and there will be ample time for discussion and questions.
Tuesday 19th November – It’s A Knockout
This is the last of our formal activities for the year and is a fun night where members select two of their favourite images and bring them into club on a USB stick.
The images are randomly displayed in sets of two, with members voting on which of the two images is their favourite. Thereby one image is knocked out and one image advances to the next round.
The knockout continues until they’re only two images left and members vote on the winning image for the evening. This fun night is presented by Graham Wright.
