We were privileged to have had again visual artist Warren Jones to evaluate our End of Year competitions. Warren's experience as a photographer showed as he offered valuable critique and encouragement. Warren took on this task for the sixth year in a row and we are very grateful.

That's it for the 2011 . Have a good Christmas and New Year. May the holiday bring plenty of photographic opportunities and always good light.

APG Studio Open Night

These evenings are very hands on photography. You bring your camera and the manual is always good. Over the last few month we have worked on photographic exposure in theory and praxis. The relationship of Shutter, Aperture and ISO were under hot debate. We looked at how these can be used creatively to archive different looks of images. Will will go on and explore the different modes modern cameras offer.

OPEN DAY at the APG - Studio
First Monday of each month - 7.00pm to 9.00pm.

The studio is open for MCC members to use. The studio provides good facilities for portrait, tabletop and experimental photography as well as computer facilities with Photoshop, Lightroom and other photographic software. A big Canon 24inch wide printer allows big format printing at reasonable prices.

The studio is in the annex of Square Edge. You will need to take the little alleyway to the left of the Gull petrol station at the top of Fitzherbert Ave. Walk right to the end. You are in the courtyard of Square Edge. An APG sign is in a window.

 

Our buddy system

If you find it difficult to get going in the Club ask for a buddy. A buddy is a senior club member and will give you an introduction into the club activities and hopefully makes you as a new member feel welcome, included and quickly familiar with the events provided by the club. This should help to make your photographic experience richer and more rewarding.
