We had a good number of interesting prints in the printed subject material. Instead of just digital format, anyone could enter with one set print and one open print. We had a fine turnout of prints with a good variety of printed photos.

As always our Open Subject in both grades had some very interesting and award-winning images.

We would also like to thank Gillianne Tedder for judging our May competition and for her fantastic talk afterwards.

She gave us a presentation on photos at the Snowies and the use of polarising filters: something I’m sure we all got inspired by, so thanks again Gillianne.

Our subject for June is  Movement. This is always a popular one.

Try panning fast-moving items such as cars or motorbikes or alternatively use a slow shutter speed to get the feeling of movement.

Remember that movement can be portrayed by freezing action with a fast shutter speed.

People, animals, vehicles, waterfalls and machinery all make for good subject material.
