Our Photos On Display at VAPS

A few updates from last week's meeting and other small items that have come up in the last week or so. Includes information about the book Neil mentioned "Cambodia with Love", photo enlargements, matting and framing.

VAPS Convention

Neil, Karen and Sue (among others) attended the VAPS Convention to check out the action. We heard reports about the talks and the workshops that went on and, for one, was sad I missed it.

One of the things that came up was Tim Boman's book "Cambodia with Love" and some folks expressed interest in finding out where they could get a copy.

Neil got us some info: The book sells for $20 and are available directly from Tim Boman, he can be emailed at tbowman14@gmail.com, if you'd rather give him a call, email me for his phone number.

Photo Enlargements

A reminder to members to check our links page for some great resources. Including a link to Photo Enlargements.

Williamstown Camera Club have used Photo Enlargements, Port Macquarie, for a number of print exhibitions. WCC themed prints of "Coffee" for AIPP were printed at Photo Enlargements. Costs are extremely reasonable (the cost of an A3 print barely covers the cost of paper) and the quality is good.

Photo Enlargements web site is: http://www.photoenlargements.com.au

Mat Board and Framing

Hui Hong International Trade Pty Ltd, 153 Hyde St, Yarraville, has very low costs for Mat Board (the last two visits I brought 5 x A1 size mat board for $15, and 3 x A1 for $10).

Mat frames and framing are also very low cost.

The Digital Show

Member, Simon Brown has let us know registrations for The Digital Show are now open and if you register online before the event you'll get a free entry.

Upcoming

Workshop: Paper Bag Challenge

A fun activity where teams are presented with a mystery object to photograph as creatively as possible. Props, lighting, backgrounds, models etc are encouraged. Bring your camera gear, a laptop (if you have one) and any props you think might be handy.

The images will then be presented and critiqued with a winning image selected by all in attendance.

Judging: End of Year Awards & Dinner

Join us for a night of fun as we award our winners from the year. Awards are given for aggregate point winners and for the images of the year.

For the new members, we have spit roasted meats and salads brought into the Clubrooms. We have found that this works really well as it gives members a chance to chat prior to the EOY Awards presentations. You can bring along some wine/beer and some of the members bring a dessert to share.

Price for the meal is $18.00, please pay into our bank account by November 22nd, with your member number and name as reference: eg: 013Malbon
