August 13th

This is the judging night for print and DPI competition. Our Judge for the evening will be Lin Richards from the Waverley Camera Club.

August 20 Activity – members have your say about BCC entries for the QUAD competition 

At the August 20 Activity night, we will give you the opportunity to contribute to the decision about which ‘Print’ entries will be entered on behalf of BCC for this year’s QUAD competition.  Final decisions will be made by the committee.  

As per the current QUAD Comp. rules:

“5.Number of Entries and Maximum entries Number Per club/maker:

  • The maximum number of entries per Club per section is 10:
  • No more than 3 entries per member in each section.”

To help determine which images are to represent our Club, can those members who received a first or second in the Open Print and/or Monochrome Print competition for  the competition year (July 2018 to June 2019) bring their prints along either next Tuesday (13th) or the following Tuesday (20th) to go into the pool for selection. This will provide a total pool of 21-images in each section to choose from. Please refer to the table below if you are unsure if this is you.

Entries are due for the final Print/DPI competition for the year.  The set subject is “Candid”.  

“Capture an image of a human subject when they’re not aware you’re taking their picture. Please remember to be respectful of your subject and avoid subjects in inappropriately venerable or embarrassing situations. This is an ideal opportunity to sharpen your street photography skills.”

Please remember to label your images correctly as per these instructions:

There are more detailed instructions on the competition entry section of the club website.

That is, the title of your entry should include the image name and your member number.

October 8th

In October the club will travel to Halls Gap (Grampians) for its annual weekend trip away.  

We will be collecting names over the next month to enable a booking to be made for the Saturday night dinner. 

As this is a very popular location, members should also start thinking about making a booking for their own accommodation. The link below will provide you with a good start.
