Warrnambool Camera Club Crawl No. 2 - Port Fairy

15th September 1:00 PM - Wisharts at the Wharf

Please meet at Wisharts at the Wharf at 1:00 PM.  People looking to car pool please meet in Warrnambool at KFC and the old tourist information centre at 12:30 PM.  If you are able to assist in car pooling please contact a camera club committee member.

We will decide on the route once assembled at the Wharf but it is the intention of the group to have coffee at some point and probably in the town centre.  I would think that our stroll will take us to some interesting parts of Port Fairy and should finish around 4:30.

Hope to see you there.

Stan.

Camera Crawl.

Warrnambool Camera Club Photo Crawl.

Date: 4th August 2013 1:00 PM at Canon Hill.

We are holding a Photo Crawl for anyone interested in having the opportunity to take some photos of Warrnambools more iconic landmarks.

We will be meeting at Canon Hill at the two canons.  Once assembled you will have the opportunity the take photos of the landmarks at this location.

We will then wonder down Pertobe Road, past the playground and along the boardwalk to the Pavillion at the breakwater.  There will be plenty of photo opportunities and chances to talk to others about all things photographic.

We will stop at the Pavilion for afternoon tea (own cost) before heading over to Thunderpoint via the foot bridge at the mouth of the Merri.  Again there are some fantastic photo opportunities along the way.

The walk will end at Thunderpoint with a few cars available to transport people back to Canon Hill.

The walk is open to anyone keen on photography.  If you are interested in joining us along the way, please contact Stan McCullagh on 5561 4407.

What do I Need:
- Camera (any type)
- Good footwear.
- Clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. (we encourage you to get down low to get another view point)
- Money for afternoon tea.
- A smile.

COST: This is a free event.

Capturing "screen shots" on a PC

I was raving on about how easy it is to grab a screen shot of anything on my Mac screen to a member last week. The response was a little bit -??????

So, for all you PC users out there - I found this article. You may want to take a couple of minutes reading it?

It looked quite helpful to me. Particularly using the Snipping method - which enables a screen shot of just a section of the screen, rather that the whole screen

Section of screen 'grabbed' from my Mac screen.

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.
