NEW – Workshop Night – Starts 16th May 2012
Due to lack of tutors and members participating our Digital Workshops the Rotorua Camera Club ran in previous years are no longer taking place this year. In place of this the club is going to run some informal interactive gatherings on the third Wednesday of the month starting 16th May at the Dutch Clubrooms, Tarawera Road.
This meeting will include a presentation by club member Nick Milsum who specialises in close-up insect images. Nick will tell us about the techniques he uses to create his images and there will be time for questions and answers afterwards.
Along with Nick’s presentation the evening will include discussion on Post Processing topics.
Also, the evening will include a practical exercise with instructions as follows:
There is an image to work on titled “Kauri Trees”. (If you did not receive this file on the club mail out email: webmaster@rotoruacamera.co.nz for another copy. Note the file size is 2.5MB) We would like you to have a “play” with it and bring along a small 4″ x 6″ or 5″ x 7″ print of what you come up with. You can crop it, convert to black and white, blur it, add a filter, or change it in any way you would like – let your imagination go! We will lay them all out at supper time for a fun “peoples choice”.
The Workshop Night Sub-Committee consists of club members – Meg Lipscombe, Nicky Blakely, Sue Pattle and Weiland Hartwig. They are looking for input from members as to what topics you would like to see at future workshops. Please come along with your ideas ready to add to the suggestion board. Or email secretary@rotoruacamera.co.nz and your suggestions.
Looking forward to seeing you all there.
