Waverley Camera Club

We now have a new A/V gallery to add to our ever increasing range of galleries to showcase members work.

The gallery can be found HERE. Please treat this gallery just like the comment gallery, go and have a look, play the video (You will need a PC (or a MAC!) with speakers) and make your comments as you think appropriate.

At the moment it may look like a Peter & Jill Myers A/V gallery but that is because I have yet to persuade our other A/V makers to showcase their work on the gallery.

So to all our excellent A/V makers who have shown their A/V’s at the A/V group meeting (You know who you are … Leif… Andy … Roger… Mary… Fred… Craig) and those who are about to finalise their A/V’s (You know who you are also!) we will be demonstrating how to upload your productions at the final A/V group meeting in December.

In the meantime please contact me and I will talk you through the very easy uploading process

On Wednesday January 27th we will host our initial “Portrait & Flash Photography” special interest group meeting.

The purpose of this group meeting is to help all who are interested, learn how to take better photos using flash lighting, in particular portable “strobe” lighting. In many instances a typical use of flash photography is to take “portrait” shots and this is a genre of photography we will be focusing on (no pun intended…) during the year, although other uses of flash photography will be discussed.

We are very fortunate with our club to have Teddy Tan as our group co-ordinator. Teddy is a very experienced photographer who regularly produces great portrait work and great shots using his portable strobe lighting.

We are also fortunate to be able to kick start our group meeting in 2010 by having David Gilliver as our main presenter tonight.

David is a member of Melbourne camera club and a highly respected photographer in his own right. David’s main speciality is the use of strobe and studio lighting. David is one of the tutors at Melbourne camera club, regularly teaching on the subject of strobe and studio lighting.

This should be a great evening…mark it in your diary. As ever, all members and guests are welcome.

Come along to the A/V group meeting on Tuesday Nov 10th at 7.45pm at Wadham House.

We will be continuing our look at members A/V’s and attempting to learn some of the finer points of A/V production using Pro Show software. If you have made any A/V’s, no matter how good or bad you think they are, please bring them along.

As with our last meeting we will dissect one of Peter’s latest A/V’s and look into the workings of the show.

The A/V Peter has produced for this disection is called “After Dark”. Have a look below and have your questions ready for the meeting…

New for 2010 we will be introducing a regular monthly “Special Interest” group on the subject of Portrait & Flash Photography.

The group will primarily focus on how to take better portrait shots using both studio lighting and small flash (strobe) lighting. If you have ever wanted to learn how to use your camera flash better to take great portrait shots like this from Teddy Tan, this is the group for you…

We are very fortunate that Teddy Tan has agreed to lead this group. If you are interested in taking part in this group in 2010 please e mail Teddy to let him know.

We have not as yet manged to finalise an evening for this group, but we will meet at Wadham House as normal, but almost certainly not on a Tuesday.

Don’t forget…

Tonight, Tuesday Oct 13th is our monthly A/V Group meeting.
Bring along your A/V’s and we will watch and disect as usual.
After the members A/V presentations we will be doing a tutorial in Pro Show on the subject of captions and motion.

See you at Wadham House at 7.30pm…sharp
