The September Meeting
Again a great turn out for the meeting. Our visiting VAPS judge for the competition "Mood of Weather was Emma Gilette who gave us a great critique of our images.
Emma's own presentation which was presented at VAPS this year, gave us a great insight of what to look for in images and how we can introduce it into our own images.
Members are reminded that the images due in October is for the 'Open Subject' Competition.
The Photographic Challenge for September is "Long Exposure" and up to 2 images taken between meetings can be presented at the October meeting.
