kapiti-coast-expressday-tile2

I have listed a meet up for the Kapiti Coast Express Day, lots of photo opportunities.

We will be meeting at the Te Roto Drive Entrance, Paraparaumu at 10am, Saturday the 18th February. Please RSVP here https://www.meetup.com/KCPS-Photography-Meetup-Group/events/237664059/

The Mackays to Peka Peka Expressway is nearly ready to open to traffic, so the M2PP team would like to invite you to the Kāpiti Coast ExpressDay – your chance to experience part of the Expressway before it opens to traffic later in February.

Walk or bus 5 kilometres of Expressway between Te Roto Drive in Paraparaumu, or Te Moana Road in Waikanae. Thanks to the generosity of Mana Coach Services (external link) ExpressTours will run from both sites throughout the day.

The ExpressDay route is open to pedestrians and mobility scooters/wheelchairs on one side and tour buses on the other side. People can also choose to try out 5ks of shared pathway alongside the Expressway.

Start your journey at either Te Roto Drive in Paraparaumu for fun and entertainment, or Te Moana Road in Waikanae, for education and expert speakers.

There’ll be something for all tastes at both sites, including Kāpiti food trucks.

GOLD COIN donation.

≈ Comments Off on Important Dates

KCPS 1st Meeting for the YEAR.

An early reminder that our first meeting of the year will be on Monday 13 February – a general catch-up for us all, planning for the year’s events, and a surprise item the committee are planning. The brochure for the year will be available at that meeting.

 

Wiltshire Cup & Bledisloe Cup 2017

Top of the agenda right now, however, is putting together two sets of images taken on the south Wairarapa coast by our members.  These are to enter in the Wiltshire Cup (four digital images) and the Bledisloe Cup (four prints, subjects must be taken in NZ).  A selection subcommittee will decide on the final sets.   Once we know which images are chosen for the prints we will ask for larger high-resolution files to print from. Some images may come from last year’s field trip but others are welcome.

Please email your images in the size you would submit for club salons: max 1080 ppi  on the vertical side, max 1620 pip on the horizontal side, SRGb and JPG.  Your images can be of landscapes, buildings, people, activities, seascapes, even abstracts… we’d like lots to choose from. They need not have been in a club salon beforehand. Everything you send will be deleted from the computer once decisions have been made.

The deadline to receive these images is Friday 27 January. Send to aviskovic@paradise.net.nz.

If you have never been to a PSNZ national convention before, put an ‘I need to be here’ action on your calendar.

Read the instructions carefully and follow the easy steps to register.

There is an outstanding lineup of talented photographers, speakers and presenters, as well as a great support from sponsors and trade stands – you will definitely be spoilt for choice.

Happy Holidays

13 Tuesday Dec 2016

Posted by rachelstevens01 in Reminder

≈ Comments Off on Happy Holidays

merry-christmas-and-happy-new-year-20131

Hi everyone – last message of this year!

Update on AGM and following Committee meeting:

At the AGM we elected a full committee, except for a President! (Alison is not able to do a further year as president, according to the club rules.) The committee have decided to have a “rolling presidency,” with each member taking a turn for a month to chair the committee meeting and the two main club meetings. Alison has taken the role of Secretary, and so all routine business and communication can be handled by her.

The committee members for 2017 are:

Secretary and Immediate Past President – Alison Viskovic

Treasurer and Membership – Jo Goudsblom

Competition Secretary and Hostess – Karyn Crocker

Committee members – Sharon Burleigh, Gavin Klee, Rachel Stevens, Greg Whitfield.

We have finished the year on a high note: 

  • The end-of year dinner was a very successful occasion;
  • The Mahara exhibition of BW portraits of retired members of the community received a lot of positive feedback; and
  • The Kapiti calendar has been selling well – net profit to date is just over $2000 with only 40 left to sell. Those last few will be sold through the i-Site in Paraparaumu, if you want to buy any more. The calendar proceeds will enable us to fund things to benefit all members such fees for a special speaker or workshop,  or the costs of prints sets and exhibitions.

Looking forward to 2017: the committee are planning a range of activities similar to this year, including a field trip, probably in May and probably to Hawkes Bay.  Development sessions will be a “Topic of the Night” series, suited to both less and more experienced photographers. More details of all meetings will be in the club brochure, available at the first main meeting on Monday 13 February.

2017 National Interclub  Salons: One early activity will be putting together club sets to enter in these Salons –  Wiltshire Open Digital, Bledisloe Open Prints (NZ subjects), Bowron Landscape Digital and George Chance Landscape Prints.  We have decided to base our sets on images taken in the area from Lake Ferry to Cape Palliser, starting with some from the 2016 field trip but asking all club members to submit other images they have taken in the area.  While the Bowron and Chance sets need to be land or sea scapes, the open sets could be of buildings, vehicles, activities, wildlife, vegetation etc in that area…. So if you are over in the Wairarapa over the summer, do look for opportunities for new images.  In late January we will ask you to submit digital copies initially for a selection panel, then we will arrange printing of those chosen for print sets.  The sets have to be submitted in February, to be judged so the winners can be shown at Natex.

PSNZ 2017 National Convention “Photography on the Edge” will be in Auckland, 6 to 9 April. Information and registration at http://www.photographyontheedge.org

2017 National Exhibition: Entries opened on 1 December and close on 10 February. Information and entry process are on the Convention website (see above).

The committee wish you all the best for the festive season, and happy image-hunting!

ROGER SMITH’S FIRST SOLO EXHIBITION “OUR COLOURFUL WORLD”

09 Friday Dec 2016

Posted by rachelstevens01 in Reminder

≈ Comments Off on ROGER SMITH’S FIRST SOLO EXHIBITION “OUR COLOURFUL WORLD”

facebook

12TH – 30TH DEC 2017 at Artspace Gallery, Paraparaumu Library

A warm invitation is extended to all KCPS members and friends to view Roger’s first exhibition at the Artspace Gallery, Paraparaumu Library. The exhibition features a selection of Roger’s favourite images taken over the last few years in New Zealand and during his travels overseas. The exhibition is “public orientated” rather than for photographers, in that the images are largely those having achieved acclaim on the peer assessment Website “ViewBug”. There are lots of colourful images, some black and whites and, of course, several enormous acrylic faced landscapes.
