What's Going on at Cudgegong Camera Club

It's hard to believe the year is almost over again.  It's been a good one so far for Cudgegong Camera Club as we continue to attract new members and undertaken new activities. 

At our last meeting we had Amber Hooper present some of her beautiful images from The Mudgee Project.  Head over to her site at www.themudgeeproject.com.au

Amber has offered to coordinate our next outdoor activity for our November meeting.  We can't wait.

Remember, we meet the first Tuesday of the month at 7.00pm.  Normally we meet at Club Mudgee but next meeting we will be out and about.  If you wish to come along drop an email to cudgegongcameraclub@gmail.com so you can receive details.

Hope to see you there!

Cudgegong Camera Club News

It's been a while since our last blog and we've been busy doing various activities.  Our June competition was well attended and we had a record number of entries - 400!  One of the really pleasing things was the number of school students who participated.  Thanks kids.

We have also been involved with and ABC Television project called now and then.  This involves getting an old photograph of a streetscape, going to the spot where this photograph was taken, holding the photograph up and aligning as many components as possible to the existing streetscape and going click.  It is quite difficult but a lot of fun.  When our photo is uploaded to the ABC website, I'll post a link.

On Tuesday our meeting looked at lighting with one flash unit, studio lights and candle light.  Our presenter, Noel Dawson, was a great teacher with lots of knowledge.

We have an excursion to Ferntree Gully on 22 July.  If you are interest in coming along send an email to cudgegongcameraclub@gmail.com

Don't forget - new members are welcome.  We meet the first Tuesday of every month at 7.00pm and Club Mudgee.

Next Cudgegong Camera Club Meeting on 5 June

Well, we've had one session on Photoshop where we looked at the toolbar and the various ways to do things.  At the next meeting on Tuesday, 5 June we will continue looking at Photoshop and how to use layers.  We will also be making final arrangements for our photo competition which opens on 8 June.  If you don't have an entry form yet email us a cudgegongcameraclub@gmail.com

The competition will be at the Country Women's Association building in Herbert Street, Gulgong from 8 to 11 June.  Hope to see you there!

Our Cudgegong Camera Club competition planning is well underway.  To be held on the long weekend in June (8 to 11 June) we are hoping for lots of great entries again.  The competition coincides with the Gulgong Henry Lawson Festival and will be held at the CWA Hall in Gulgong.   Start snapping and enter the competition.  The schedule and entry form can be obtained by emailing cudgegongcameraclub@gmail.com

Camera Club Meeting, 3 April 2012 - Macro Nature Photography

We are looking forward to another interesting Cudgegong Camera Club meeting tonight to review the photographs taken at the Gulgong Gliding Club last month.  A few brave souls ventured out at 6.00am to capture some macros of the insect life around the wetlands of the Club.  We will be seeing those tonight and this will be followed by a talk from Hans Staub about macro nature photography.  Come along and have a look.  We are always pleased to see new faces at our Club.  The meeting is at 7.00pm at Club Mudgee.

Congratulations to Brian Jeffrey

Congratulations to one of our Club members, Brian Jeffrey for receiving the Best Print of the Show award at the Mudgee Show.  The photograph was a beautifully executed and captured a tender moment between a father and son (presumably).  Well done Brian. 

Meeting, 6 March at 7.00pm, Club Mudgee

We will be looking at our Mudgee Post Office photographs from our previous meeting (see Activity 1) on Tuesday 6 March at 7.00pm.  We will be meeting upstairs at Club Mudgee.  Hope to see you there.
