​Our next meeting will be held on June 5th.
This will be a competition evening with Karen Burgess as our guest judge.
Karen gave us a wonderful insight into her world of abstract photography at our last meeting.

The meeting will commence at 7.15 pm for a 7.30 pm start.

Please remember to forward your CORRECTLY sized digital images to [email protected] no later than 8.00pm Saturday 3rd June.

Also remember any prints that score 12 or more points on the night, should be sized the same as digital images and sent to [email protected] for inclusion on our website. 
For correct sizing, please refer to our website.

As mentioned at the last meeting, we would like you to bring any prints that have scored well in competitions since last July for our selection committee to select images for the annual Interclub competition with Hornsby Heights Camera Club.


Program change

Please note there has been a program change for the 19th June.
This will now be a presentation evening with our very own Peter Bliss who will be debunking all the mystery surrounding infra red photography.

We will have our astrophotography evening on Saturday 17th June (weather permitting) somewhere locally.
For those adventurous souls who are willing to brave the cold night air, please let Peter (Squires) know so we can select a suitable location.

Disposable Camera Fun

Disposable cameras have now been distributed and if you are like me, you will be chomping at the bit to get out on the long weekend and challenge yourself to come up with 27 awesome images.
It should be fun!!!

Topshot 2017 results


Topshot 2017 has been run and won.
The calibre of entries was exceptional and the scoring was harsh.
We had a few people from Pittwater who entered images with mixed results.
Congratulations to Ray Chappelow with a 10 in colour digital and Mike West with an 11.
Mono digital saw Mike West and Airlie Andrews with 10's.
Nature digital had Airlie with a 10 and Mike with a 10 and 2 12's. Great effort Mike.
Alas , poor Bill bombed out again.
Mark Galer from Adobe gave 3 x 1 hour lectures on Lightroom and Photoshop.
Fantastic tutoring free of charge.
