SUMMARY OF THE MINUTES FROM THE JANUARY 2009 COMMITTEE MEETING
These summaries will appear in the blog each month as soon after the meeting as time permits. In future months you will be able to access the previous entries by clicking on the Committee category on the right hand sidebar. (DM)
The Committee has spent a lot of time devising the program for the coming year
and we hope you will enjoy the activities we have planned. Some of the meeting
times and locations are yet to be determined, but this is advance notice of what is
coming up and some of the outings and practical nights should tie in with
forthcoming competition set subjects. (It is here)
As there will not be a practical night available before the Brisbane
Urbanscape/Bridges outing, keep in mind the opportunities this trip will offer for
converting colour images to mono. We have a practical night planned for this in
May with the Monochrome competition in October. Architecture lends itself well
to mono, as the shadows and lines can create dramatic images. It is one time
when shooting outside early morning or late afternoon times can be used to
advantage.
On practical nights we have tried to include plenty of hands-on activities with cameras, as
there are many newer members who would like to get to know their cameras
better.
JANUARY PRACTICAL NIGHT (22nd)
This will be a night shoot at Bond University.
Meet at the big arch near the lake at 6.30pm and remember to bring a tripod, cable release if
you have one, mid to wide angle lens, insect repellent and a torch. Lorraine
Jones has very kindly prepared an information sheet which will be a great help
for this shoot. View it here Thank you Lorraine!
BBQ ON JANUARY 25TH (SUNDAY)
Meet at the eastern end of Winders Park (at the BBQs) on Duringan Street Currumbin. The meeting time is 7:30am.
A Hunt & Shoot will commence at 8:00am and finish at 9:30am. Jeff has
prepared a list of clues which will be handed out on the day. The items to be
photographed can be found in the area between the Gold Coast Highway bridge
over Currumbin Creek, and the M1 bridge. After the Hunt & Shoot we will gather
for a BBQ. It should be a lot of fun, so do plan on attending. If you can bring a
salad to share, it would be appreciated. BYO drinks. GCPS will provide the
meat and the bread rolls.
Our Annual Exhibition at Robina will be held from 1–14 July. A working bee
will be held just before 1 July to frame the works to be hung.
The Joint Weekend with Queensland Camera Group and Retro Group has been
set down for the weekend of 9–11 October. We have a location in mind and as
soon as details are finalized we will let members know.
We are greatly in need of an Events Co-ordinator as the Management
Committee already has a heavy work load. If you feel you could take on this job,
(which is not onerous), please see one of the Management Committee at a
meeting or email one of them.
For those members unfamiliar with meeting locations, maps follow.
