Edwardstown Photography Club

On Tuesday 15 May we will be visiting Photographic Wholesalers at 47 Hutt Street, Adelaide at 6pm. We will not be meeting at the Clark Building at Glandore.

Please ensure that you are there at 6pm or shortly before. As this is the commercial premises of PW, the front door will be locked shortly after 6pm and if you are late you may not be able to get in.

The interclub competition held on May 1, 2012 between the Edwardstown Photography Club (EPC) and the Eastern Suburbs Camera Club (ESCC) was won by ESCC. There was a great turn out from both clubs and some high quality photos kept Judge Alberto Giurelli busy. Congratulations to the Eastern Suburbs Camera Club on their win!

Version 1.3 of the Club Program of Activities for 2012 is out now! Download it here.

The South Australian Photographic Federation is supporting a continuing series of photographic workshops aimed at the beginner to skilled amateur photographer.  The next of these workshops will be held on Saturday 26 May 2012, whilst there is also a week-long workshop in the Flinders Ranges later in the year.

Light on the Land Flinders 2012

There is a new version of the program – version 1.2 uploaded on the Program 2012 page.

The program for EPC has changed for the following reason:  due to the large number of images (both projected images and prints) received for the set subject “Transport” the prints were not judged Tuesday 13th March, they will now be judged next Tuesday.  Hence the program for the next couple of weeks is now:

Tuesday 20th March – Judging of  prints for the set subject “Transport”

Tuesday 27th March – Mentor Night

Tuesday 3rd April – is Ian Haddy’s presentation of AVs

Due to the arrival of the replica of Captain Cook’s Endeavor in Port Adelaide, the February Sunday outing will be at Port Adelaide, not the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.

The ship will be at the McLaren Wharf, Inner Harbour, (adjacent to Timpson St). The admission price on the ship is $18 adults, $9 concession.

Meeting at the lighthouse at 9 am, members have the option of queuing to go aboard the ship, which opens from 10 am, or wandering around the Port, including the markets.  On the day a time and meeting place will be decided for lunch or morning tea.

The Program 2012 page has been updated with what’s on at the club next week.

A reminder that entries close February 1 for the Centennial Park Exhibition. Members may bring prints to the club next week.

New guidelines for the preparation and naming of entries for projected images competitions will be uploaded to the website soon.

Our first meeting for 2012 will be Tuesday 17th January.  As is usual for the first meeting back each year, members are invited to bring along images that they have made over the break, either bring along on a usb or CD or as a print/s.  This is not a competition night, but rather an opportunity to share what we have been doing photographically over the Christmas/New year period.

You can download a copy of the program here:  2012Program(Jan-Jun)1.0.

We are looking for more guest speakers/presenters to fill some of the spots in our program, as well as suggestions for practicals/workshops.  If members have any suggestions, please forward your ideas to the secretary, or the webmaster.

WHY COMPETE ? ………..What do I learn by competing ?

The question was asked after the judging of the E.O.Y. (end of year) prints and digital projected images.

“Why did I not get a better score?” – “I submitted what I thought was my best shot – AND THE JUDGES DID NOT ….. etc. etc.”

“That’s it…….I not doing any more photography……what’s wrong with THE JUDGES ??”

You have to look at this question from two directions.

End of Year Competitions  v  Monthly Comps.

The topics and definitions for the Set Subject Competitions for 2012 have been put on the EPC website on the Set Subject Competitions page. This also includes the topic and definition for the Atkins Technicolour Annual Project.

Members may like to plan ahead for next years competitions during the upcoming Christmas break.
