Michael Snedic – Wildlife Extraordinair’s Website

For our last Presenter- Zoom-Meeting of the year we had Michael Snedic from Queensland do a talk on his Wildlife and Photo Tours. Michael has been a Photographer for 25 years and a wealth of knowledge to share. I include his Website-link for your convenience. CLICK ON HOME(!)

Home

On his Website he has a facility to join his monthly Newsletter e-mail list. I am a recipient of his monthly newsletter and find it fascinating reading. I plan to join one of his full-day photographic outings early next year – it looks like just the way to shake the dust of 2020 from my feet !

Thank you to all the faithful Zoomers of the past year. Some of you went travelling as far around Australia as you were allowed to and still made a point to join the Zoom – Meetings on a Tuesday afternoon. Some chose not to join in our Zoom-Meetings even if it meant they could stay put on their couches and be entertained by merely clicking on the link. Others made time in their busy schedules to be ever faithful and attended the Zoom – Meetings without fail. Thank you to all !

Our FINAL meeting for the Year 2020 will be on the 15th of December at LUSC in Laurieton. We will start at 3pm, so please be there earlier if you want some refreshments from the Bar or Coffee Shop to take into the Meeting. LUSC has very kindly offered the Venue for free to us and we will repay them by availing of their Refreshments. Please contact JOHN SHAW to register for the event as we are still under Covid regulations and social distancing rules.

September Competition closing in 5 days only !

There has been a discrepancy between our Club Calendar and the Website on the closing date of the September Digital Competition. Set Subject : Light Painting.

Kindly note : I have phoned the Judge and asked for some leeway to close the Competition site only AFTER 6pm on Sunday, 20 September. That should give everyone enough time to come up with some kind of Light-Painting image as well as submissions for the other categories. We’ve only 56 submissions in TOTAL so far !

Get clicking please and submit something in one or more categories if you have not already done so.

Print of the Year Competition for 2020 cancelled.

Dear Members

As promised, the decision made by the Committee at the September Meeting.
Three issues were discussed regarding the Print Section of the End of the Year Competition ( POTY ): Hygiene ( handling of Prints ), Social Distancing and Exhibiting. As we are still unable to hold our meetings at the Club on account of Social distancing, the Prints won’t be able to be exhibited and that defeats the whole purpose of going to the expense of printing and mounting your submissions.

We will therefore ONLY have Digital of the Year ( DIOTY ) for 2020. The Competition-page is open. Reminder : Only images submitted throughout the year , ie November 2019 to October 2020 will be allowed in the Competition. You will not be able to upload from your Computer, ONLY from your Gallery on the Website. You will have time to submit your October images into the Competition as the results will be out on the 17th November, one day before the DIOTY closes

In the meantime…keep snapping !
