THE Sale Camera Club has been back face-to-face for a little while after a long time presenting their meetings via Zoom.
The club has been inviting some fantastic photographer guests in to their monthly club meetings.
Recently, the club was visited by VAPS (Victorian Association of Photographic Societies) judge and Warragul Camera Club member Nigel Beresford.
Beresford had judged the club’s ‘Architecture’ competition prints and was able to add a lot of additional content to his judging.
He motivated members with his constructive feedback and ideas.
In the Novice group it was Marg Gwyther who took away the honours with her stunning image of a Japanese Goyakama Grassho.
Marg also took second place with a very colourful image ‘Tokyo Station’.
New member Rhonda Carlin came third with her image depicting a ‘Widow’s Walk’.
John Gwyther took first place in the Open section with yet another Japanese image, called ‘Kyoto Station’.
It was Adele Bronts who scored with all of her three submitted images; second placed ‘Beach Abode’, third placed ‘Orient Hotel’ and highly commended ‘Windows and Walls’.
Very important in architecture and most if not all photographic subjects is composition.
Committee member Greg Meldrum’s slide show on this subject fitted in perfectly following Nigel’s presentation.
The November club meeting hosted Melbourne’s Multi Award Winning Street Photographer Adrian Whear.
Whear will show members and guests his latest presentation on how to shoot street photography just about anywhere, including Sale.
His enthusiasm is inspiring and his images are colourful, abstract, engaging, and most of all, well timed.
Whear often uses shadows, reflections, bold colours, juxtaposition and unusual angles to attract viewers. His aim is to capture an ordinary everyday scene but to interpret it in an extraordinary way.
This weekend club members will participate in the popular annual photo treasure hunt. A list of 10 photographic challenges will be given to each member.
The submitted images can only be taken during the weekend.
A voting system is in place to select the winner of each challenge as well as an ‘overall’ winner.
All submitted images will be shown in a slide show at the December meeting.
