There is a wonderful tribute about John Long who died this month on 21st January 2021. 

We knew John over many years. He was always at any RPS event and Adjudication. We even have a photo of his sent to Sheila. She had judged Prints in the WCPF annual exhibition along with Leo Rich [slides]. John liked what Sheila had said about his image; so he sent her a copy.

Canberra U3A Camera Club meeting.

This meeting is, as I explained, a Workshop at which we generally discuss more technical things, on this occasion, "Colour Management - How Colour is Managed in Digital Photography." Sometimes other members of the class present the topic but this time I am again in the hot seat. There was a time I could talk for two hours non-stop but I am finding I need a break nowadays. Anyway, it gives members time to do other things for 5-10 minutes - this will be around the 11.00am mark (midnight your time). 

Needless to say, your members can see some of our latest pictures on our new web site at http://u3acanberracameraclub.smugmug.com if they care to check in. It is public. 

If you wish to join in I can send you the link.

I was impressed with the creativity of the projects you set your members. I tend to be rather more formal with Set Subjects, so I will have to give some thought to a different format sometimes. I will also definitely include Luminar in the workshops for next year. This is one of the benefits of cross-fertilization, one I was hoping would happen with interaction with other groups.

Again, thank you for having me at your place, 

Bob

New photographic exhibition at Five Rivers Health & Wellbeing Centre

Click HERE

A new photographic exhibition by local photographer David Walker has just opened at the Five Rivers Health & Wellbeing Centre. Showing street scenes and street art from London, Berlin and New York, the work is both fascinating and sometimes amusing, full of colour and imagination.

David Walker commented, “ I do hope that people come and see this exhibition, it shows a rich mixture of cultures. I have always been fascinated by how street art has now become the everyday background to people’s working and leisure lives particularly in major cities”

The exhibition is now on and runs through to September 29^th

Photography Workshops

Maria Falconer FRPS & Prof. Paul Hill MBE

A series of Workshops have been arranged by Maria and Paul. We know Paul quite well. He was one of our earliest influencers. We went to his home in Derbyshire on courses. He came with us to the USA. Here he assisted the then-current RPS President, who also was with us, to set up an RPS Chapter in California. We then visited the Yosemite Valley. One of the best photogenic places you can visit especially in Autumn.

    I remember Paul telling Sheila, when staring at the magnificent sight of the Yosemite cliffs, do not try and copy Ansel Adams. Instead, take your own original arrangements. Easier said than done.

Paul is a good teacher. Maria, we do not know but her web site shows great versatility and originality,
