Mid-Week Outing
2021-09-07 10:30 - 14:00 | VIC
Hello everyone,
Well, we will be locked down for another 3 weeks and that means we cannot meet outside as planned.
However, we have a fall back plan in the shape of the usual Zoom meeting (see mailout for details).
This month, Jim O’D (Jim the younger) will demonstrate the art of making digital backgrounds that can be used to enhance portraits and other photos.
Jim W (the Wise) will deliver a short presentation on scanning old slides and photos for digital archiving, or for use in photobooks.
Both presentations are bound to be of riveting interest, at least to the presenters.
We also invite members to show a few images that they have been working on.
Everyone is welcome, particularly members who do not regularly attend the usual outings.
Regards
Jim O’D
PS Please bring your own coffee.

Mid-Week Outings are ZOOMING again.
We know that everyone wants to get out & about and take more photos – but as we can’t, zoom meetings are proving to be a good way to stay in touch and enjoy each other’s company.
The 3rd Tuesday of the month is normally Camberwell Camera Club’s turn, and Joe Hajdu will be there with some images from a time he stayed at the Park Royal Hotel which is unique for its ecologically friendly planning & ambience.
Other presenters will be Anne Shellard with some doggie humor, John Mallett with some images from his travel adventures in Africa, and Marg Huxtable bringing us a bit closer to home with some images from the City of Port Phillip.
(And as zoom meetings look like being with us for a little while I would love to hear from other group members who have some images they would like to share).
There will, of course, be plenty of time for a coffee & to share your latest news and enjoy each other’s company.
The meeting will start at 10.30am on Tuesday 21st Sept.
See mailout for Zoom deails
Jim W.

Mid-Weekers are Zooming again.
The Melbourne Camera Club Mid-Week Outing, at 10.30a.m. on Tuesday 5th October will be a Zoom Meeting.
We had planned a visit to a fire brigade. This had been arranged by Colin Booth. Colin is a Melbourne Camera Club board member, and also has a distinguished record with the Country Fire Authority, being a Life Member of that organization as well as holding a number of other awards. Hopefully we will be able to make the visit next year, once the fire season has passed.
So there will be plenty of time for a coffee and a catch up with members and friends, along with a further 4 relaxed yet informative presentations from our own group members.
Colin will be showing some images and talking about some of his experiences with the Country Fire Authority.
Sue Rocco will be taking us on some of her past travels, and Michael Brown will also take us on a travel experience as he heads towards Cape York.
And for a bit a balance, Jim O’Donnell will continue to show us how he changes backgrounds for his images using Photoshop.
Each presentation will be around the 10 minutes mark.
Looking forward to see you.
