Jim Mullens Award
Congratulations to Mike Maher for taking out the Jim Mullens Award for Australian Landscape Photography.
Mike is a new member to the club and he achieved this on his very first entry to competition. Well done Mike.

Pittwater Challenge
Have you been up to the Baha’i Temple yet?
Next time you are passing just drive in, walk around it then go home and image how you might be able to present it in a different way, then go back and do it.
A link is now on the front page of our web site with full details of the Pittwater Challenge 2014.
Club Outing
On Monday, March 31st we have scheduled a ‘Night Shoot’.
We have decided that Newport Beach will be the ideal venue.
Playing around with some light painting, star trails and perhaps having someone try lighting some steel wool for some really different photography are just some of the ideas we hope to pursue on the night.
More on this as we get closer to the date – mark it up in your calendar as it should be a load of fun.

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.
