The third Tuesday of the month is our workshop night which can range from talks by prominent photographers to hands on activities. Workshop events may occur at other times (such as weekends) so also refer to our calendar of events.
All members are welcome to join this workshop hosted by the Honours Group on Wednesday 12 August at 7:30pm.
This workshop will help members select and prepare images for club competitions and it will be of special benefit to those considering entering National or International competitions. The session will last for approximately 90 minutes and there wil be opportunities fo participants to ask questions.

We regret to advise that the Portrait Workshop scheduled for this coming Saturday will not be proceeding.
A new date is not yet confirmed. I’d ask everyone to appreciate that there are a lot of parts to this exercise (halls, equipment, instructors, models, etc). Over the coming days we will work to get these lined-up and confirm the new date to you as soon as it is known.
See you at the InFocus Exhibition opening event this Friday 13th March, 6-8pm, Track Gallery, Mount Waverley Community Centre.
NOTE: This workshop has been postponed to a later date.
Last month the club announced a major focus during the first half of 2020 around developing our portrait photography skills. Jen Fawkes ran three very successful beginner portraiture workshops which helped build key skills around working with models. As previously announced, this month we are going to build on our model engagement skills while focusing on use of lighting.
On Saturday 14th March 2020, we have been fortunate to engage professional lighting specialist and portrait photographer Michael Marlborough from Kayell, who will lead us in a very special workshop event. Michael has also engaged four professional models to work with us on the day.
Members please refer to the information emailed out that includes the schedule for the day and how to book your place.
Next week we will be running a workshop/demonstration on how to mount prints for entering in club competitions.
Tuesday 25 February, 7:30pm, upstairs at Wadham House.
This is aimed at intermediate members or those that have never entered a print, but all are welcome.
I will demonstrate my technique for mounting a print, we can discuss various options and members will be able to try out the mat cutter.
If you are an intermediate member that has printed an image for the April comp (due the following week) then we could mount it. There is also a selection of pre-cut mats (lightly used) that members can have for their entries if they are suitable.
Don’t miss this! You may remember Christopher Ian and his enthusiasm from his judging last year – we are privileged to welcome him back for the February workshop.
Tuesday 18 February 2020 – 7:30pm
Mount Waverley Community Centre
Our workshop on Tuesday 15 October 2019 will be on creative photography with an iPhone, presented by Barry Povey of Berwick Viewfinders Camera Club.
All members are welcome to the Gear night! If you have never attended a gear night now is the time to begin! Our mentors and resident experts sit with a group with similar camera brands and take and answer questions from members about their cameras. The advantage is you will receive ‘pertinent’ rather than ‘generic’ answers to your queries.
Don’t be put off if you are a beginner or not too technical! This is a small group situation and all questions at any level will be discussed.
Hope to see you there!
