Then come along to the NEGV meeting and here the comments by accomplished photographer.

Wilsons Promontory Trip
What a great time had by all down in ‘sunny’ Wilsons Promontory. The weather was a bit bleak and that certainly made it challenging to get the perfect image. Wind, rain, patches of sun, fog, sandblasting from the beaches and dunes with more wind for something extra.
...more to come.

WACC 2009 Annual Exhibition of Photography
Our Club Exhibition was great, well done and thank you to all those who were involved and/or helped! Camera Club members exhibited some fine work at the Creators ArtSpace from March 11th - 22nd.

Portraiture Workshop
The January Portraiture workshop was well attended by members of all skill levels. The models did a great job three models and a couple of different lighting setups. Thank you to all of our models and special thanks to Clare for organising them, I believe our ladies appreciated the physically form.
Click here for a few short videos on lighting. Photographer Jean-Francois O’Kane hosts the tutorials.
  1. Photographing Portraits with Zoom Lenses, he gives great examples of how focal length affects features on portraits. Definitely worth a look before the May entries of the ‘Portrait’ set subject.
  2. 7 Positions of Light shows the classic positioning of studio lights. Although O’Kane uses ‘flash’ studio lighting, the principles can be applied to available light. He uses only one light at a time and shows examples of how moving the lights affects your portrait.
  3. Bridal Shoot Using Soft Boxes shows some lighting techniques for brides but the best tips refer to successfully photographing people in glasses.

Get out and give it a go !.

Photography Challenge - ODD
We had plenty of 'ODD' entries for the Photography Challenge! Members were told that their images maybe as odd as they like, however we asked them to include an 'Odd' Number of objects in your image, as judges occassionally comment that an image may have looked stronger/better if there had been an odd number of objects rather than an even number. For example 1, 3 or 5 flowers look better than 4, 5 fence posts instead of 6. Apparently an odd number of objects is more pleasing to the eye.
So have a go, take up the Challange and take a couple of photo's, remember to include and 'odd number of objects'; and maybe play with the idea of it being 'Odd'. All photos must have been after January 8th 2009 and are due February 12th. Two images per member or visitor and don't forget to have fun.
