PHOTOGRAPHIC GROUP’S NOVEMBER 2020 NEWSLETTER PUBLISHED

Our 2020 Photography Group online (Zoom) meetings continue to keep us all in touch and still have our regular meetings, whilst still maintaining our Social Distancing.

The Group’s November Newsletter has been publish and is ready for you to access on the Club’s website’s homepage. Our presenter, Doug Carley, enlightened us with various methods to converting colour to monochrome in PhotoShop and then Luciano Vranich was our judge for the last Monthly Competition “Still Life”.

November is almost at a close. Summer down under is just 2 days away on December 1st. This means the Club’s Annual Dinner and Awards Presentation Night is almost here on Tuesday, December 8th 2020 where we’ll all know who received “Digital/Print of the Year”, Video of the Year”, AV of the Year” along with the Encouragement Awards and President’s Award.

From the Past – 4 years ago The good old days

While watching our guest speaker last meeting, I remembered this evening we had presented by various Club members. I thought you may enjoy this face to face presentation.

Producing MonoChrome Images

Talk at Wollongong Camera Club as members talk about their experiences producing monochrome images. August 2016. The Lightroom demo discussion is not included as there are many good tutorials on the subject that meet the needs of members. I recommend Serge Ramelli and here is a link – Serge Ramelli Lightroom, Photoshop and Photography Tips / Tutorials
