Hi All,
there’s is a Composition workshop coming up this tuesday night which will begin at 7:30pm.
The venue is Wadham House, 52 Wadham Pde, Mt Waverley and we will be downstairs.
Composition is the art of framing an image and is quite easy to learn, you don’t need any technical know how whatsoever
and as such is the quickest way to start improving your photography.
If you have any images which don’t look as good as you were hoping they would it may be that the composition could be improved.
If that’s the case then bring your images along tomorrow night on a usb memory stick and we will see what can be done.

This exercise is open to all but could be especially handy for those of us just returned from the weekend’s trip to Aireys Inlet.
Chances are that some of the locations you photographed were also snapped by someone else and that the two sets of images will be very different
from each other. It will be interesting to discuss why one way works better than another or just to see if the audience is evenly split about their favourite compositions.

The first part of the evening will be taken up with a chat on the psychological aspects of how/why/what we see so if you’re thinking “oh I’ve read/heard all about composition before”
then make sure you get there on time because I doubt you will have.

Cheers,
Pete

Coming up this Tuesday at Wadham House:

A presentation by the good people at

Nulab/PicPress/Creative PhotoWorkshops.

They are Australia’s premiere professional photographic laboratory, they
supply print, workflow and business solutions to the professional
photographic industry throughout Oceania and the world.
They offer a wide range of products and professional services.
On the night they will provide an interactive slideshow presentation
with displays of the products they offer. They will have information that
they can hand out to members. This hand out will include examples of
their printing capabilities, booklets, and each member who attends on
the night will receive a $25 credit towards Nulab!

On top of this Nulab is in a partnership with Creative Photo Workshops
who are Australia’s leading photographic tutoring company. CPW will give
a presentation on a certain aspect of photography, whether that be
portraiture, flash photography or wedding photography. At the time of
writing I haven’t been informed of what the topic is. They have found
that this combination has been very beneficial for club members, with
each member taking away something from the nights presentation.

Recently the team at Nulab, Picpress and Creative Photo Workshops
have given presentations at-
�         Geelong Camera Club
�         Frankston Photographic Club
�         Southern Suburbs Camera Club
�         Mornington Peninsula Camera Club

With all of these clubs thoroughly enjoying the presentation, they
have asked to return later this year.

***UPDATE***
Here’s a little more info on the workshop night coming up this Tuesday.
Not only will Nathan Muller be presenting but you will also be regaled by Shelton Muller.
For those who haven’t heard of Shelton Muller yet try googling him and see how many hundreds of pages come up.
I am very sorry that I won’t be there to see it, I will be at Pakenham Camera Club that night, so I want you all to go and then let me know what you think.
We may be able to get them back in November if we are lucky.

Cheers,

Pete Davies

The workshop this Tuesday at Wadham House will be an image evaluation night.

It requires you to:

1. be there
2. bring some images

You can bring prints or EDI’s but we would prefer it if you emailed the EDI’s to comp@waverleycameraclub.org before lunchtime on Tuesday. Doing that will save a fair bit of hassle on the night.

If you have had images which were previously in a competition and you didn’t agree with what the judge said then this would be the ideal opportunity to get a second, third and fourth opinion. The main objective of the night will be to try and explain what judges are searching for when they look at our images.

Should be fun, you should learn something and hopefully improve your chances in a competition.

Visitors are most welcome.

see you there,

Cheers,
Pete
