Edwardstown Photography Club

The monthly club outing or field trip for October will be on Sunday 18th October, at the Salisbury wetlands.  We will meet at 7.30 am to catch early birdlife on the wetlands adjacent to Salisbury Highway near Magazine Road, see Image No. 1.  Then we will move on to the wetlands near the Watershed Cafe at 9.00 am, see Image No. 2.  Those unable to manage a 7.30 start can meet up with the early birds at the Watershed Cafe location at 9.00 am.  Click on the images to see a larger version.  You may need to click on the link to read the full post to see the images, or click on the “more” link below.

On Tuesday 6th October we won’t be meeting at our usual location, but instead will be having a night photography session, led by Practicals Director Reg Shackleford.  Members will meet outside Diamonds Photographics on Rundle Street in the city, at 7.30 pm.

Bring cameras and tripods.  If you have a cable or remote shutter release for your camera that would be useful, to avoid camera shake caused by pressing the shutter release button.

For the first time, we are including digital images in the End of Year competitions as well as for monthly competitions. Please refer to the guidelines for naming the files so that the images will be put into the correct section. The guidelines can be downloaded here: FileNamingEOYDigitalEntries

We are currently looking at an alternative meeting venue, as we have realised that the current premises (Mitchell Park Neighbourhood Centre) is not really big enough to suit our long term needs.  As we have always been in the Marion council area, we are first looking for a suitable venue close by, but if that is not possible we may have to look elsewhere.

This new site uses Wordpress as a platform, and will eventually replace the blog we currently have on Blogger.  Wordpress allows a site to have pages which don’t change very often, and are more or less at the top level of the site, as well as blog entries, which are listed chronologically.  So this should make it easier to update club information or news without having to go to two different sites – ie the blog and the main site.
