The club exhibition opening night was a huge success, officially opened by Deputy Mayor Mike Cardiff and followed by amazing selection of drinks and nibbles provided by our members. Everyone enjoyed the array of images, the display of diversity and massive talent our club has to offer.

A special thank you to our president Alison for all the work she did in preparing the images to the highest standard and ensuring the exhibition flowed cohesively.

If you haven’t been yet? the exhibition is still on until the Friday 24th June.

Successful Open Evening

02 Wednesday Mar 2016

And what a beautiful evening it was.

22nd February 2016 BBQ & Exhibition Open Evening

About 30 members and 19 visitors enjoyed a sausage sizzle and nibbles at our second meeting of the year. We were really pleased that lots of local publicity drew so many visitors, and already seven of the visitors have joined the club.

This evening also saw the first use of our new set of print easels, made for us by Kapiti Menzshed, to show examples of work brought along by members. Alison got all the exhibitors up to introduce themselves and say a little about their images – one of the visitors said later it was the friendliness and variety of work shown that made her decide to join.

Four of the prints shown, with a steam train theme, were the club entry for the Bledisloe Interclub competition – but we won’t show them here till after the judging!

Good afternoon Everyone.

I’m very excited to announce the launch of our new field trip group on meetup.com

This is where we will notify members of weekend excursions throughout the year (it will also be updated on our website calendar), this group is totally informal and you are more than welcome to bring a friend along. The aim of the group is to get everyone out and about with their camera, mingle with other members and most importantly have FUN! If you have any suggestions of where you might like to go for a field trip, there is a suggestion link on the home page of meetup.com.

Very shortly you will all receive an email from me that looks like this….

Meetup Email

Please sign up if you would like to be notified of up and coming field trips, any anything else to do with photography.

Look forward to seeing you all at the first meetup in mid Janurary.

Have a great weekend,

Rach

News from the Darkroom

25 Wednesday Apr 2012

Posted by kcpsnewslettereditor1 in News, Uncategorized

≈ Comments Off on News from the Darkroom

The Monochrome Film Users Group caters for those interested in capturing images on black and white film of different formats and darkroom techniques for processing and printing. This year the group has welcomed 5 new members, to bring their membership to 12. They meet once a month on the third Thursday evening in Waikanae. Contact the organiser of the group, Michael Martin, if you’d like more information. They have a lot of fun, and value humour!

The topics in the first two meetings this year included learning about printing filter grades, lens focussing errors, hypo-clearing agent, resurrecting faded old prints, and matting and mounting. Members are encouraged to take along at least one print each to share and critique, and they sometimes have members sharing mini-portfolios – thanks to Herman Visser for his presentation to the March meeting.

Michael emails a newsletter to all members after each meeting, and the following excerpts and images are from the February one – thanks Michael.

New Products
Harman Technology Ltd., in association with Walker Cameras (who make the Titan range of large format cameras), are marketing a 4×5 inch large format pinhole camera kit which comes with the Harman Titan pinhole camera, 10 sheets 4×5 film and 4×5 direct positive paper.

Some suppliers reportedly sold out their stocks within 48 hours of the kits release.
This is great news for us 4×5 sheet film uses as it ensures a continuing demand and supply of 4×5 sheet film.

It can be purchased from, amongst others, Silverprint U.K. for £125 exc. VAT. So I urge you to all go out and purchase one so I can continue to buy sheet film.

This Month’s Image

Parakaunui River, Catlins, captured with a tripod mounted Bronica ETRSi 645 camera, standing in the mud.   Film used was Kodak T-Max 400 rated at 320 and developed in SPUR HRX-3.  The image was captured late in the afternoon. I was attracted to the late light coming through up river in what was otherwise a dark and foreboding scene. For me it had a spiritual feel to it.

Food for Thought

“Understand what you want to say.

Understand how you want to say it.

Then say it without compromise.

Now you are thinking in terms of creative photography.”

From Bruce Barnbaum’s book “The Art of Photography”

 

Look, See, Compose, Capture and most of all Enjoy.

Michael Martin.
