APG Studio Open Night

Last Open Night in May we started a project. We are using different types of photography, shooting images indoors and outdoors and will be joining them in Photoshop to create our own personal masterpiece or something close to it. The Photoshop work will be guided by our Photoshop Master Wayne.
These evenings are very hands on photography. You bring your camera and tripod. The camera manual may be helpful at times. 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. As well as hand on photography work there will be opportunities to get help with Photoshop and Lightroom questions you my have.

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.
