The programme for 2012 has been uploaded to our Calendar of Events. Access it via that blog entry, or use the EVENTS Menu at the top of the web page.

You may need to click on “Look for more”, as our first meeting of the year is some weeks away, on Monday 13 February at the Otaihanga Boating Club. Keep clicking, or switch to month mode, and you can check out the whole year.

You can also download a pdf of the KCPS 2012 Outline Programme as presently planned, but bear in mind that the calendar will always have the most up-to-date details.

If you are feeling technically savvy, you can also subscribe to the calendar and have the events automagically appear and be updated on your iPhone or iPad or iPC.

Best wishes to all for a happy and safe Christmas with family and friends, and we look forward to many outstanding images in 2012.

Updated Membership Page

≈ Comments Off on Updated Membership Page

The Membership Page on this site has been updated, because when we start up again next year after the summer break:

  1. Regular meetings will be on Mondays rather than Tuesdays
  2. The new venue will be the Otaihanga Boating Club
  3. The competition rules have changed, so that now for each of the four salons you can submit up to two digital images (up to 1600 by 1200 pixels), and up to two prints (either colour or monochrome).

Our KCPS committee will be meeting in a couple of weeks to work on the details of the programme for next year, which will then be added to the Events calendar.

Finally, of historical interest …. if you follow the Google Maps link (the address, 19 Makora Road) for the new venue from the Membership Page, then use Street View, you’ll see a view a bit like that below. Don’t worry, our new venue is quite a bit larger than this historical view of the Boating Club!

Sausage Sizzle and other Upcoming Events

Sausage Sizzle 30 October

Don’t forget the Sausage Sizzle at 3 pm on Sunday – come check out our planned new venue from next year.

AWARDS FUNCTION 22 November

Starting at the Sausage Sizzle, we’ll be selling tickets for our gala End of Year function, which will be held at the same venue, at 7 pm on Tuesday 22 November. $25 per ticket.

WORKSHOP 1 November

The next post-processing workshop is this Tuesday 1 November, at 6 Matipo Street, Waikanae. It’s the  follow up to the 4 October Mahara Place photographic exercise. Select an image from that photo-shoot that you would like to enhance, put it on a memory stick or CD, and bring it to this meeting.

Also would members who are conversant with enhancing programmes on their laptops please bring these to this meeting to show and help by demonstrating the secrets and mysteries of post-processing software techniques to other members.

Neil Gordon will be demonstrating Lightroom. Marshall Marsden will be demonstrating Serif Photo Plus, (a free downloaded programme.) Mike Brewer will be using Picasa (another freebie).

We can answer questions that arise from the discussion.

PS. It is helpful if members could wear shoes that they can slip off when they enter the “borrowed” house at 6 Matipo Street. This saves using a vacuum cleaner to clean up on Wednesday.
