Royal Botanic Gardens in Cranbourne this Sunday
by Pete Davies on Feb.01, 2010, under Club outings
Hi All,
This Sunday will see WCC venture out for it’s 4th outing for the year so far, the second in the Sunday series.
This time around it’s the Royal Botanic Gardens in Cranbourne. The forecast at this stage is for a sunny 28 degrees which should be just perfect. The gardens open at 9am but I propose that we meet at the visitor centre at a slightly more respectable 10am. The loose plan is to wander around for a couple of hours and then meet back at the visitor’s centre at 12:30 for some lunch.
The following entry fees apply for the Australian Garden:
Adults: $9.80 AUD
Concession: $8.35 AUD
Children under 16 free.
Entry to the bushland at Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne is free.
The bushland will be closed if it is a Total Fire Ban day.
See you there,
Pete
Approximately a 45 minute drive from Mount Waverley:
First of our monthly comps for 2010
by Pete Davies on Feb.01, 2010, under Monthly competitions
Tomorrow night is the first of our monthly comps for 2010 and don’t forget that the competition nights are now held in the Craft Room at the Mt Waverley Community Centre. It’s a hop, skip and a jump from Wadham House on the corner of Miller Cres and Stephensons Road.
Please don’t park in the Wadham House car park as you would normally do as we are not renting Wadham House on the night. There is plenty of parking at the community centre.
This will be the deadline for the March comp so bring along your prints on the night. Digital copies of the prints and the EDI entries must be bought along on disk or emailed by this date also.
Also stay tuned for more information about the outing to Cranbourne Botanical Gardens on Sunday the 7th of Feb.
First workshop of 2010
by Pete Davies on Jan.19, 2010, under Workshops
Tonight at WCC we are having our first workshop for the year and it is to do with software.
Rather than have one person up the front and the rest all sat down looking at the screen we will try something different. It has been proven that the method used in the past doesn’t work for several reasons.
So what we will try is this:
I would like everyone who is able to bring their laptop (or PC’s if you prefer) with them tonight. We can then split up into much smaller groups and therefore (in theory) be able to cater for all levels of expertise. All the people who are familiar with Photoshop/Lightroom/Elements and so on will be able to demonstrate what they know and all those for whom digital editing is still a bit of a mystery will be able to ask questions specific to them.
This will only work if everyone participates.
We also have the monitor calibration tool which is available to anyone who wants to use it.
See you all tonight,
Pete
(not) Shooting star trails
by Stephen Edmonds on Jan.18, 2010, under Club outings
Last Saturday night a handful of us met out at Pete’s place in order to shoot star trails. Due to cloud this wasn’t going to be possible so we switched to plan B once the rain died down.
This involved light painting using torches, sparklers, lasers and glowsticks:
More can be found in my Flickr set, although others have shots that I didn’t get.
