TUESDAY 28TH JANUARY 2014 NEWS


Monday 27th January 2014 was a photo competition judging night.

Some of the members competition photos are displayed on the member’s photo’s page

23 members entered the competition and there was an overall total of 84 images

Welcome to our visitors who attended the meeting last night and we hope you found it interesting.

Thanks to Col and Annette who arranged the refreshments/supper for members last night.

Now that our first competition for the 2014 year is over, I can say that the exact matching up of the projected images and  the printed names and scores sheets worked well.

As explained to members present at the meeting and also in the flood of emails I sent over the last 2 weeks, the correct or manually corrected filename coding of member’s entries, emailed to our competition Coordinators, allowed this smooth running to happen last night.

With practice, we should be able to get the naming of entry files correct all (most) of the time.

If the filenames, dimensions or physical file size of images received are incorrect, then there is a lot of work involved for anyone receiving the images.

Even if they appear correct, when looking at 84 image filenames mixed in a single list, I initially missed seeing some simple things like the Grade letter being missing.

The system just won’t work properly if a single letter or dash is missing in the coding at the start of the entry filename.  If every entry was 100%, then after the entries are downloaded to a computer folder, the whole processing job would take about 5 minutes to complete as it’s mostly automatic.

(but only if all the entries are correct)

So once again, the coding must look like this, with capitals in the right places please, but use your own ID number, grade and photo name:

BPG-99-A-OPEN-My Open Entry Photo Name

BPG-99-A-SET-My Set Photo Entry Name

BPG-88-B-OPEN-Your Photo Entry Name

BPG-88-B-SET-Another Photo Entry Name


I set up the new email address, bpgi.images@gmail.com just recently, mainly to receive competition entries and talk to members by email about problems they may have with creating and sending their entries.

So far, since 9th January, this new email box has received 198 emails and sent 170 emails sorting out the new competition emailing system.

Maybe for February, 120 entries, with only 120 emails in and 120 confirmation emails sent out.

Just ask if you need some extra help

Message from Rob Cullen (President 2021)

Welcome to the New Year 2021.

 In this the 66th Year of the Club’s existence, I hope we can join and meet together and continue to share our knowledge of the creative hobby (and profession for some) that is Photography.

 Covid threw a ‘spanner in the works’ for the meetings in 2020, but let’s hope our first Meeting on the Monday 11th is the start of regular meets in the U3A rooms on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each Month.

 Committee members have worked to plan a Calendar of Competitions, Workshops, and Outings, to give some guidance to the Club activities for the Year. (emailed by Sec). Competition Subjects have been set for each Month. Workshops and Outings will be decided as the Year progresses.

 There has been a change to the Competition system this year (at my instigation) which I hope will be successful. I firmly believe that a Critique and discussion, that is positive and informative, is the best way to improve our abilities to create great photos. The Monthly Competition Subjects have been posted in an email to all. Competitions will be ‘judged’ with a critique from the judge, and Honour,  Merit, and Acceptance, Awards given for images that excel in skill and presentation. Score points will not be announced. (A system used by many other Clubs)

 Remember we are a ‘Social’ Club for the sharing of knowledge, so please partake fully, and assist where possible, for the benefit of all members. It would be also good to encourage more new members to join. Anyone you know with a camera (even an iPhone!), and keen- Give them an invite to the Club. The diversity of Digital Imaging devices should be encouraged within the Club.

See you in 2021.

 Robert Cullen (Pres.)

               Club Activities and Information     by Diane

August 2020

Hi Members

It’s been a while since I have done a blog. I could blame Covid19, but that would be a lie.  

This year we have had 3 Workshop nights and 2 Competitions nights in our Club rooms at U3A.  The last one was on March 9th.

Since mid-March we all had to step up to the challenge of staying in and keeping up with our Monthly Competitions by email.  

In April while still isolating Craig send us an email encouraging members to go outside in their gardens and photograph the nature and beauty around us.  Quite a few members took it on and posted some lovely and interesting images on our Facebook page.
 

JUDGING - The Challenge for me is to find judges who are willing to spend their valuable time to judge our 60 plus images including writing or recording a critique with the scores. All the judges have been wonderful and giving of their time.

When I send images to judges I have learnt and understand to not give them a time frame to get the images back as they are doing it in their time and I am just grateful that they can do it for us. So don’t be concerned if it takes a while. It won’t happen overnight, but it will happen.
 

ZOOM - The 10th May was a momentous occasion with Rob hosting our very first Zoom Workshop. It has been way out of our comfort zone to try these new things, but we have adapted and it has worked beautifully.

Rob has hosted a number of zoom workshops since then, giving us valuable lessons on Lightroom as well as some insight into out next Set Subjects for the Comps.  We are very fortunate to have such a knowledgeable member in our Club. Rob is also an accredited PSQ Judge as well as Life Member of our Club.
  

OUTINGS - On June 14th we ventured out on our first outing in months to the Botanical Gardens. And wasn’t it wonderful? A great time was had by all, with some not even taking a photo. It was just lovely to meet up, sit at the café and chat with a coffee in hand.
 

We had another outing on 5th July to Baldwin Swamp. We found the Shelter Shed off Que Hee Street is ideal for our outings, because it offers shade and tables.

Jenny and I are trying to have meet ups on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month, to compensate for us not being able to meet in the club rooms for our usual twice a month meetings.

The 19th July saw has hold another outing to Botanical Gardens which was another enjoyable morning. The weather has been very kind to us lately.
 

Our last Outing on 2nd August was held again at the Shelter Shed at Baldwin Swamp. We had a great roll up, with Jenny organising it to be a Water Drop/Macro Workshop.

Jenny had all sorts of interesting contraptions to make it all work. It was a great roll up and lots of fun was had by all. Even if we were covered in food colouring
J My podiatrist was a little bemused by the bluish tinge on my feet.
 

AWARDS – The PSQ Salon of Excellence Awards was held on line this year, hosted by the Gympie Club.  It was my first time entering and I am pleased to say I received a 1st in A Grade Portrait and 2 Acceptances. Debby also entered and received 8 Acceptances in A Grade.

It would be great to see more club members enter in this yearly Competition, so look out for it next year.
 

Any suggestions for future Club Outings/Workshops would be most welcome. It’s your Club and all members input is appreciated.

That’s all for now. Till next time. Happy Snapping

Hi Members

This is my first blog on the web page, so we’ll see how it goes.
We moved into the U3A rooms at the start of this year and it is working out great.  Nice central spot and we can also hold weekend workshops there if we need.  Rob Cullen has held 2 Lightroom workshops over the last few months which have been great.
So much to learn in Lightroom.


Paul Beutel held a Street Photography workshop early August which was really informative and Paul will be judging the Street Photography Set Subject in October.  


September’s Set Subject  is Monochrome, so start thinking about which images would look great in Monochrome.


Oceanfest was held 24th August and 5 photographers from our club volunteered their time to be the Official OceanFest Photographers on the day.

Photo Hunt is on again this year on Sunday 10th November.  It’s always a fun day and a great challenge.  More info to come.

Angela is sending out an email to everyone regarding a day in Gympie called “the Tewantin Shield Competition 2019” It’s a club photo comp with a guest speaker, ride on the rattler and lots of photo opps.  Date is the 26th October.  


Our Annual awards night and Christmas party is on this year on Monday night 16
th December at the U3a rooms.


That’s it from me.

Happy Snapping
