The Tumbarumba Weekend Trip'
On Saturday the 7th of September, thirteen members decided to brave the weather predictions and travelled to Holbrook to meet up for coffee and the weekend briefing.
Departing at 9.30 am our next stop was Rosewood, where we visited the Gnome Retirement Village and spent time amongst the Gnomes.
We arrived in Tumbarumba around 11.00 am and took part in a photograph river walk before meeting at the bakery for lunch. We then went out to the Paddy's River Falls
and in the only period for the weekend spent time in photographing the falls in light rain. The rest of the afternoon was freed-up for members to do their own thing.
An nice evening meal was taken together across the road from our Motel at the Tumbarumba Bowling Club.
On Sunday morning at 9.00 am we travelled to Laurel Hill, to visit the Sugar Pine Walk which as a great or be it freezing experience, and many photos were taken.
We left about one and a half hours later and headed for Tumut for coffee and lunch.
After lunch our next stop on the way home was the Adelong Creek Falls Gold Ruins for another photo opportunity.
A Big thank you to Debbie and Greg who planned and organized the Trip.
The Paatsch Shield Challenge 2019'
On Sunday the 5th of May, 26 photographers from Benalla and Wodonga/Albury camera clubs converged on Mulwala/Yarrawonga for the Annual Paatsch Shield Challenge competition between the two clubs.
The theme for this year's competition was 'The Importance Of Water To Our Community' with Benalla's turn in organizing the event.
The club's met at the Mulwala Bakery for morning coffee and completion brief, then it was off to investigate photo opportunities.
We met up again at the Mulwala Golf Club Resort for lunch and then it was back to work, with the day coming to and end with the club's meeting up again at the Mulwala Blacksmith Provedore for coffee and farewell.
24 images, 12 each from both club, will now go away to a VAPS Judge for judging, with a Presentation being held in Wangaratta later in the year.
Go Kart Outing Sunday 25th August
Eighteen members attended the local Go Kart Club's August club day at their Wodonga track.
The outing provided members an opportunity to test out their camera capabilities as well as their panning techniques.
The elevated canteen decking provided a popular vantage location in addition to a few using ladders to gain a clear view of the track.
Some members got closer to the action by going trackside (safe areas) thanks to permission from the Go Kart Club officials.
The social aspect of such outings was also appreciated by all present.
AV Presentation Monday 26th August
An evening of audio visuals was held for members on Monday evening.
The Presenter, John Spring from the Melbourne Camera Club, showed a number of both national and international audio visuals in addition to giving an insight into some of the productions. It was interesting to see the difference between local and international approaches.
John also gave an insight on how to approach this form of image presentation should members wish to show their own images either for personal or competitive uses.
