Edwardstown Photography Club

The Club’s outing for March will be on Sunday March 20 to Goolwa, meeting at 10 am at Signal Point, near the Wharf.  You can see a live webcam of the Goolwa wharf HERE.

The Goolwa Visitor Information Centre site has ideas on what to see and do, and where to eat.

Other meeting points later in the day will be sorted out on the day.

One of the challenges in being a camera club member is what to do with your best prints and digital images once you have used them in monthly competitions and the club’s annual exhibition.  Our club competitions can provide a general indication of how your work is developing, but other feedback is always to be welcomed.  This is why I intend to be available for you to bring images in to club for some extra feedback, or via email if you would prefer.

SAPF photographic workshops

The South Australian Photographic Federation (SAPF) is supporting a series of photographic workshops aimed at the beginner to skilled amateur photographer.

The next workshop will be held on Sunday 13 March 2011.

Some places are still available for the longer workshops in Clare (19-22 May 2011) and the Flinders Ranges (5-11 September 2011).
The workshops are run by Lou Marafioti and Keith Seidel.

1          BACKLIT BUT NOT SILHOUETTE

A photograph where the light source is obviously from any angle that is behind the subject.

For this competition, some detail should remain evident in the main subject, using fill light or a reflector is allowed.

Pure silhouettes that lack any detail are not acceptable for this set subject competition.

2          ALTERED REALITY

A photograph that has been altered by any creative means, either in camera or through post processing.  The final image should not look real.

3          WHITE ON WHITE (Mono)

The Edwardstown Photography Club will be meeting in a different room for the first meetings in 2011, while the floor in the Clark building is repaired.

At this stage we will be meeting in the Rugby Room on Tuesday 18th and Tuesday 25th January.  See the map below.  We should still have access to our equipment in the cupboards in the store room of the Clark building.

The first meeting for the year will be a casual “show and tell”, where members are invited to share their photography from the holiday period. The club’s digital projector and laptop computer will be available for members to project their images.

We will be holding our 2010 End of Year Exhibition on Friday December 10, from 7.30 pm at our club rooms:  Clark Building, Glandore Community Centre, 25 Naldera Street, Glandore.

It will be opened by Her Worship, the Mayor of the City of Marion, Felicity-ann Lewis.

We will have on display the prints that scored well in our recent End of Year Competitions, in the following categories:

1. Open/Pictorial
2. People/Portraiture
3. Nature
4. Architecture
5. Creative/Experimental
6. Photojournalism
7. Photo Essay
8. Annual Project:  Landscape/Seascape/Cityscape

We will also screen a presentation of the (digital) projected images that also scored well in our End of Year Competitions.

On Tuesday 20 July, 19 members of the Edwardstown Photography club were educated and entertained by the guys at Total Photographic Supplies, who showed us the studio setup and equipment for hire, the latest tool for cleaning those sensors, and a pretty nifty tripod, as well as attachment for speedlight flash units.

This was followed by a visit to Graphic Arts Supplies, conveniently located across the road at Kent Town, where we learned about the importance of monitor calibration, and setting the ICC profiles of the paper for the photo printer being used.

This Sunday, April 11, our club outing will be to Indofest, Adelaide’s festival of Indonesian arts and culture.  The festival runs from 11 am to 4 pm and is a free event, and a good opportunity for Environmental Portraiture, just in time for our next set subject competition on 11th May.

There are 2 meeting places and times:  At 10 am at Scoozi Caffe Bar on Rundle Street for a coffee, or at 10.45 am on the corner of Rundle Street and East Terrace.

Unfortunately our guest speaker who was scheduled for tonight is now unavailable, so there will be a change in the program.

Our Immediate Past President, Peter Phillips, will be giving a presentation on one of his trips up north, and is calling it “Outback and Camel Safari”.

Our guest presenter for Tuesday 23rd March will be Joe Janko, who is a keen sports photographer. With the recent car racing event held in Adelaide he may have some great images from it.

This is a change to our printed program due to the unavailability of Ron Willems, who we hope to reschedule at a later date.
