Website updated

The Edwardstown Photography Club website has been updated to a new format.  The address is the same: www.e-p-c.org.au but the layout is completely different to the old site.  The new site uses Wordpress, a blogging platform which can also be used as a content management system.  Therefore this blog will no longer be updated with club news.  The new website has a club news section, which will be where updates will be posted.

Program Update, Tuesday 15th September

Tonight we won’t be having a digital interclub competition with Forster camera club, as written in the program.  Instead, Life Member John Holland will lead a tutorial session on Camera Basics, as a refresher for those changing from film to digital SLRs, and for newer members who are learning what the different settings are and what to choose for the subject you are photographing.

Sunday outing, 23rd August

For the August outing we will be meeting in Rundle Mall in the city, at the balls, at 3pm.

What to photograph: a suggestion is to try and make images for the upcoming People in Motion set subject competition. One way is to put your camera on a tripod and use a slow shutter speed to blur the movement of people walking by; another is to try panning using a slow shutter speed.

The annual Photojournalism, Photo Essay and Photo Project (Photo Travel) competitions are coming up on September 29, so the outing may also present photo opportunities for these topics. The end of year competitions are not far away either, and the sections are: Pictorial, People and/or Portraiture, Architecture, Nature, and Creative/Experimental. Apart from nature, there should be opportunities for making images for the other sections.

Sunday Outing to Old Noarlunga

Our Club Outing on Sunday 19th July will be at Old Noarlunga, meeting at Market Square Green, 2.30 pm. This will be followed by an evening meal at the local pub. Things to photograph: historic buildings (click on the link to go to the Old Noarlunga website for information), the river and reflections, the park and surrounding areas.

Trade Night at Atkins Technicolour

Our meeting on Tuesday 21st July won't be at the clubrooms, but will be a Trade Night at Atkins Technicolour, 89 Fullarton Road, Kent Town. Start time is at 7 pm. The club has visited Atkins before, and it's been interesting seeing how the lab has changed over the years, from processing film and slides, to printing digital images.

WE HAVE MOVED

The Edwardstown Photography Club has moved the location of it’s meetings.  We are now meeting at MITCHELL PARK NEIGHBOURHOOD CENTRE, 1 CUMBRIA COURT, MITCHELL PARK.  Our first meeting at the new location will be tomorrow night, July 14^th.  The meeting will start at the usual time of 8pm.  Tomorrow night we are having an Open Print Competition, and entries must be submitted by 7.45 pm.

Photo Quiz, Tuesday May 19

Next week’s meeting is going to be a little different.  Peter Phillips has taken photographs at various locations around the city and parklands, and these will be shown on Tuesday night.  Cryptic clues will be given, and members are to try to identify the locations.  Please bring supper, and a pen and notepaper.  It should be a fun evening.

Club Outing Sunday May 17

The Club Outing for this month will be on Sunday May 17 at the Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens.  We will meet at 3 pm at the lower car park, which is off Lampert Road.  To get to there go up the freeway from the city, take the Crafers exit, head towards Piccadilly and follow the signs.  Things to photograph:  autumn colours, reflections in the lake and ponds, close ups of flowers and ferns, bird life, scenery.  Afterwards we will either go for a coffee or an evening meal.

Club Outing Sunday April 19

The Club Outing for this month is scheduled for Sunday April 19, meeting at the Art Gallery, North Terrace in the city, at 2 pm. It will be an opportunity to look for ideas for the next set subject competition, which is “Close, Closer, and Closer Still”. Later in the year is the set subject competition on “Reflections”. It will also be an opportunity to look for architecture shots for the End of Year competition.
