WANGANUI CUP

This cup was first awarded in 1959, and was this year won by KCPS for the best set of eight digital images in the Central Region Salon.  Our set will go on for consideration for the Wiltshire Cup early next year.

The EOY function  was an ideal opportunity for Shona Jaray (PSNZ President) to present the cup to Ian Linning (KCPS President).

Adobe Photoshop CC and Lightroom Deal

22 Friday Nov 2013

Posted by KCPS in News

≈ Comments Off on Adobe Photoshop CC and Lightroom Deal

photoshop_4xThis is just to make KCPS members aware of a limited time offer by Adobe that may be of interest.  I mentioned in a blog post back in September that Adobe had introduced a new, lower price option for USD9.99 a month (on an annual plan) oriented just to photographers.  It includes licensing (and updates and upgrades) for Photoshop CC and Lightroom (5 at the moment).  That offer was later made available in Australia/NZ for AUD9.99 per month. But – you needed to already have a licence for an earlier version of Photoshop (CS3 or later). That particular offer closes at the end of December.

Adobe have just announced a special version of this offer – only until 2 December – where you don’t need to have a licence for an earlier version of Photoshop.  Check out the details of the Photoshop Photography Program here.

This plan would cost AUD120 per annum. For comparison, Lightroom 5 alone is (list price) AUD186 if you don’t have a previous version, or AUD99 for an upgrade. It is of course up to each individual to decide whether to go for Adobe’s Creative Cloud licensing system, rather than owning the software (a “perpetual licence”). At least you know the option is there …

PSNZ Convention, Membership, and NZ Camera 2014

21 Thursday Nov 2013

Posted by KCPS in News, PSNZ Notices

≈ Comments Off on PSNZ Convention, Membership, and NZ Camera 2014

Blenheim2014logoThe next PSNZ National Convention will be in Blenheim from 23-27 April.  You can find out all about it here. It looks like it’s going to be a fantastic experience with lots of good speakers, workshops and field trips.

Full registration is cheaper for PSNZ members – you’ll save more than your membership fee. So now’s a great time to join up as a member of the Photographic Society of NZ if you aren’t already.  You can just go to the PSNZ website at http://photography.org.nz/join.html and join online.

PSNZ members also receive a free copy of NZ Camera, and are the only ones who are eligible to submit photos for this high quality publication that is published in February each year.

KCPS Member Successes

In that regard, I’m pleased to advise that four of our KCPS members have just had images accepted for NZ Camera 2014 – Neil Gordon LPSNZ, Shona Jaray APSNZ, Michael Martin and Alison Viskovic APSNZ. That’s a great result for KCPS – let’s do even better next year with more of our members belonging to PSNZ, and being eligible to submit images.

Lots of interest in KCPS at the Arts Trail on Saturday

Lots of interest in KCPS at the Arts Trail on Saturday

If you are out and about on the Kapiti Arts Trail today, be sure to drop in to Lindale where KCPS is part of the trail, promoting our club and with prints exhibited from Karyn Crocker, Ian Linning, Peter Beddek, Katie Beddek, Hugh Scott, Shona Jaray, Carol Molineux, Alison Viskovic and Neil Gordon.

A big thank-you to all involved with this, but particularly Ian who has put a lot of work and planning into it.

Development Group Meeting

Monday evening’s last development group meeting for the year will be all about Lightroom.  I’ll be demonstrating some techniques, and there will be a number of laptops there for some hands-on work as well. Come along and and learn how to use Lightroom to improve your images.
