Weekly MCC News #02 – 30-Jan-2022

After time off for COVID, the Introduction to Photography Course is set to resume on Tuesday 15 February. There are still places available, so if you know someone starting in photography that needs to learn the basics, please suggest that they have a look at the course at https://melbournecameraclub.org.au/courses/itp/.

The assistance of some members to act as mentors for Lesson 1 on 15 February and the 3 Sunday workshops (20 & 27 Feb and 6 Mar) would help the course enormously. If you are able to assist on any or all dates, please shoot me an email at intro.course@melbournecameraclub.org.au.

The 2022 Program for the Melbourne Camera Club will kick off on Thursday, February 3 with a Members’ Promotion Evening. Please join us in person or on Zoom as we hear from the members that were promoted from B Grade to A Grade at the end of last year. We will also hear from our Photographers of the Year. Traditionally this evening is an opportunity to catch up with people that you haven’t seen since last year – this year that is true, of course – but we won’t be having our usual BBQ unfortunately.

The 2022 Competition series starts on 10 February with a Print Competition. The Set Subject is “Colour Contrast”. It is anticipated that this meeting will be in person in the Club, although the event will also be made available for people to join online. This date is also the deadline for submitting your PDI images for the competition on 24 February, so please ensure that you upload your images by midnight on 10 February.
