A few minutes away from The Alfred Nicolas Gardens car park, beautiful crepuscular rays were streaming through the awesome trees beside Sherbrooke Road. Getting out of the car at The Alfred Nicolas Gardens car park (Sherbrooke), you are immersed in the beauty and pleasant smells of Sherbrooke forest.
Our "Seeing Red" set subject brought out some amazing creativity in our members. Well done to the winners and to everyone who entered this month's competition.

p>Well, our first Club weekend for the year has now come and gone with 37 Members (including a few family and friends) attending at Halls Gap. The weather was kind, despite the forecast for a little rain, though both the mornings and evenings were quite chilly. Some stayed for 1 night and others for 3 – we were scattered all over town, which meant that we were all within 4 minutes of each other!! (Halls Gap is not very big). We stayed in caravans, YHA, flats, motels and apartments, ate out, drank lots of coffee in between times, bought other miscellaneous stuff and hopefully helped the local economy.
Adobe has released Lightroom 5 as a public beta, with some exciting new features that I'm sure many members will love. Perspective fixing with "Upright", custom layouts in books, smart previews, radial filters, an improved healing tool and more.
Robert Moyses, one of our members, has been hitting it out of the park when it comes to his Still Life work and he has graciously agreed to share his methodology with us in a presentation.
