Monthly Meetings

A General Meeting is held on the first Thursday of each month.
The meeting is usually followed by a short workshop before our photo competition critique. 

Members of the public interested in joining a camera club are invited to attend some of our meetings and workshops and meet our members. 

 Monthly Show & Tell  -  Whats in your bag......
​

At our October meeting, Carmen showed us her camera bag. Her attention to detail and her thoughts in regard to what to include was very inspiring. We were all amazed at how much she is able to fit into a small and light bag. Who would have thought that you could fit a portable light reflector and a first aid kit into a small bag with the all camera gear and lenses!
Thanks for sharing this Carmen.

Field Trips

External workshops/field trips are held on alternate months and when arranged, will be shown in the Calendar.
The time, location and subject of these workshops are usually at the request of members.

​Night Photography Workshop (Debbie Ford)
​Our November monthly workshop and outing was night photography in Mackay City Heart. The night started with dinner and a chat, the food and cold coffees may not have been the best but the company and the great turnout made up for it! The group went out and about taking photos of some of Mackay’s beautiful old buildings. We even had some curious people stop and chat with us during the night. The group then ventured into the artistic fifth lane where they experimented with some light twirling (non-technical name lol) and light painting on some of the beautiful artwork in the alley. David turned out to be an expert in twirling lights! We also learnt (via QPS out on patrol) that we aren’t supposed to set up on the roundabout to take photos…oopss! A couple of the stragglers at the end of the evening ventured down to the old Commonwealth Bank building to take photos. We even found a random shopping trolley sitting there which Pamela kindly light painted for us. (Photographs contributed by Debbie Ford and John Pickup)​
