Members from the Preston Photographic Club helped out at the Lalor Community Multicultural Day Saturday, June 22nd. It didn’t feel much like work with all the great food and fantastic performances. Here are some fantastic photos taken by Deb Keir.
Club President Deb Keir thanks Club members Theo, Eric, and Joe for their help.
The Preston Photographic Club is running the July Fireworks Photo Walk on 5th July. Meet us at 6:30pm at Docklands. It will be cold, but it’s a great opportunity for fun and terrific photos. Join us for a meal afterwards.
Here are some beautiful fireworks photos taken by our very own Deb Keir, many of which were taken at Docklands.
To see more photos, please visit Deb’s website.
We had a great meeting last week – lots of fabulous portraits. Well done everyone!
At our next meeting, uur guest speaker will be Bob Showers from the Australian Photographic Collectors Society. He’ll be talking about “The magic of film”.
And don’t forget to bring your images for our June competition “Colour Wonderful”.
A big thank you to everyone who helped out at the sausage sizzle and a very special thank you to Bunnings Warehouse for letting us use the space. It was a fun day and an excellent fundraiser for the Club.
It is time to register for the VAPS convention. VAPS is the Victorian Association of Photographic Societies and we are one of the affiliated clubs. Each year they run a convention, and this year it is close to home, just in Brighton. This is a great chance to meet people from other clubs and hear about what is happening, as well as listen to some great speakers. They also have some workshops/activities on Saturday afternoon which are well worth attending and Ian Rolfe is running some photo shoots/photo walks on Friday 6pm and Sunday and Monday mornings (an early start) and they have an exhibition of the inter-club competition entries including prints, digital images and audio-visuals.
There is also a dinner on the Saturday night if people are interested in getting a table together.
Details below and we’ll also discuss on Monday night.
Registration deadline is 21st April.
Hello! Don’t forget we’re judging the Open competition. It should be a good meeting with a lot of variety in our photography subjects. I am looking forward to it and hope to see you there!

Hello Club members and friends!

See you at the next meeting!

At the first meeting on 29th – we’ll spend some time explaining how to prepare you photos for competition. If you are a new member or thinking about joining this could be really worthwhile. We hope that more experienced members will still be able to learn a trick or too. Looking forward to seeing you on the night.

After such a great year in 2012, the Club is now gearing up for 2013. Don’t forget that our first meeting of 2013 will be moved due to the Australia Day Public Holiday. We will be meeting on Tuesday 29th January in our usual room off the foyer of the Preston Libary at 7:30pm. It would be great if everyone could bring a JPEG of their favourite image taken over the break – no need for adjusting sizes or file size as it is not a competition.
As always, new members are welcome to come along and meet us.
We are very pleased to invite you to our November Exhibition at Michaels Photographic Gallery – Level 1, cnr Lonsdale and Elizabeth Street, Melbourne.

The Exhibition is then open until Friday 30th November during store hours. Please invite all your friends and family and colleagues to come along. It showcases some great work by members.
