Rotorua Camera Club

End of Year Club Meeting and Barbeque 2011

Lisa — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 20:10:09 +0000

Our last club meeting for 2011 took place in December and we were lucky enough to have Craig Robertson in attendance. Craig is a local Commercial Photographer with a huge local client base. Along with judging our end of year competitions for 2011 he also gave us a presentation on his work and the nature of being a Commercial Photographer in a very competitive environment.

Our evening also included a fantastic barbeque put on by the Club with club members bringing along fantastic dishes to accompany this. It was a fantastic feast and a great way to finish off the year. This was followed by desert and the cutting of the Rotorua Camera Club 60th Birthday cake.

Brian Brake – Lens on the world exhibition.

Lisa — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 10:25:33 +0000

Just a reminder that the above exhibition will be opening at the Rotorua Museum on the 10th of December and running through till the 22nd of April 2012. Admission to the gallery is free with entry into the museum (and this is also free to Rotorua residents with proof of ID). Having recently viewed this exhibition at the Christchurch Museum I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in photography and travel. The images are stunning and the exhibition is well presented. There’s plenty of time over the next few months for you to get along and see it – so make sure you do!

Mid Year and July Honours Images Now Up

Lisa — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 02:51:42 +0000

Sorry for the delay in getting these images up. Winter has gone by so quickly! Some of the behind the scenes work in getting the images ready for the website has been delayed due to holidays, illness and the very busy lives of our committee members. But you can now view the Mid Year 2011 and July 2011 images by clicking the following links: Mid Year 2011 – July 2011 Honours Images. And I must apologise – the images will display smaller than normal this month – my mistake with batch processing them for the web.

Black and White Workshop a Success

Lisa — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 06:49:28 +0000

19 Rotorua Camera Club members had a fantastic day today at the Black and White workshop held by Cliff Threadgold. So much to learn and take in and I’m sure we all got something out of it. The notes that were given out will come in handy when we put into practice what we were taught today. A big thanks to Raewyn Connolly for organising the event.
