Camera Club Goes to the Dogs

Thanks Stan for organizing an interesting night at the greyhounds. Thanks also to Karen Giblin who shared her expertise. It was certainly a challenge photographing fast action in low light, and it happens all so quickly. I didn't get much, but here is one shot I took ISO 2500, shutter speed 1200. It was very noisy, but after noise reduction in Photoshop it's not too bad. Hopefully others may wish to share their photos

Fade To Grey

This information was sent to me by Rhonda McDowell, after your BBQ duty of course. She also said there is a Max Dupain exhibition on at the moment - worth a look.

March 1st BBQ and shoot a great success

About a dozen members plus two new members turned up for this event.

The company was good. The fellowship was excellent. The late afternoon light was just OK. Basically, everyone enjoyed the occasion. BUT, the wind blew, blew and blew some more - very challenging shooting conditions.

At the breakwater some of us got dumped on by over-spray breeching the top of the breakwater and up at Thunder Point we had to protect ourselves and our gear from becoming sand-blasted.

The sunset lasted just a few minutes but most of us managed to shoot a couple of 'keepers'.

Anyway, thanks to the committee for organising the night - let's have more of these on our calendar of events for the year.
