The annual interclub will be held on October 27th and hosted by Manly Warringah Leagues Camera Club.
If you did not attend our meeting on Monday night or simply forgot to bring your images along for selection we will be accepting printed images for selection on Monday, September 2nd.
If you have a printed image you feel should be included for the selectors, please submit it too. We already have the digital images on the club laptop so there is no need to worry about those.
All images must include your name, contact details and club written clearly on the back of the image and mount.
Thanks for your assistance with this. Last year we came third in Nature Prints and also third in Nature Projected Images.
With your help this year we will do even better.

Calibration
Calibrating your monitor is an essential part of ensuring that the image you see on your monitor at home closely resembles what the judges and members see up on the screen on a competition night. Correct calibration also helps to ensure that your printed image closely matches what you see on your monitor.
The club has a calibrator that we lend out to members to assist with this.
Please talk to Peter, Brian, Bill or myself if you wish to borrow the calibrator.
