Hi everyone
I’m delighted to say that we are now taking orders for our new Kapiti-Themed calendar, $15.00 per copy.
The above images show the back and front covers – most images are from this year’s Paraparaumu library exhibition.
The calendar is A4 size closed, A3 when open for hanging, and light enough for mailing (plain envelope included in price). The income from sales will be used for future exhibition costs and for holding the annual subs to their present level.
You can order by:
Emailing aviskovic@paradise.net.nz to say how many you want, then pay online and collect your calendar(s) at the AGM, 14 November, or the end-of-year dinner, 28 November.
Or you can order by email then pay cash when you collect at the AGM or dinner.
Or just bring cash to the AGM or to the dinner, and we’ll have copies there.
We also hope to sell the calendars at the Waikanae Saturday Market, and other locations TBA.
The committee hope you will each buy several for giving as Christmas presents.

Our very own treasurer Johanna Goudsblom is exhibiting in the Kapiti Arts Trail.
She has been a professional photographer for many years and recently my focus has been on the medium of creative photo artistry. Creative photo artistry can take the imagination and carry us anywhere.
Her art has been published in the magazine “Living The Photo Artistic Life”, showcasing digital artists from all over the world, and edited by renowned Photoshop tutor Sebastian Michaels.
Her artwork has also been successful with entries accepted in the prestigious Pukekohe Franklin Creative Focus salon – an international annual competition which receives hundreds of entries.
Limited edition pieces can be purchased as archival giclee canvas prints (in various sizes) or as archival matted fine art prints ready for framing.
Pop down and see her this weekend 5th & 6th November open 10-4pm, 23 Horopito Road, Waikanae.
Well done Jo, your artwork looks amazing.

≈ Comments Off on Lighting Session – Development Night
Monday evening’s development session with Susie Whelan was a great success. Susie, who is IRIS Classical Portrait Photographer of the Year, demonstrated how she uses lighting in her home studio, and shared lots of ideas about her approach to making successful portraits, whether of people or dogs. This photo was made with two light sources, using the back wall of the hall as backdrop.
You can see more of her work on her website at www.gggphotos.co.nz

≈ Comments Off on Central Regional Convention
We all had a great time at the PSNZ Central Regional Convention held in Porirua last weekend. We were entertained by an array of guest speakers all of whom were very inspiring and had a lot of fun with the workshops and field trips around the hills.
We have fully recovered from the aberration of the recent Wellington Interclub Battle by almost sweeping the board at the Central Regional Salon! With 6 Cups.
Our Print and Digital sets won the two Interclub Cups, and the following people had individual successes:

≈ Comments Off on What’s coming up
1. Monday 1 August is a Development night, with a focus on lighting, especially flash. I hope some experienced members will come along to share ideas with newer members who have queries. Bring your cameras and flash units.
2. Midday Sunday 7 August is the closing time for online entries for Winter Salon, and print hand-in is Monday 8th.
Monday 8 August meeting: we will do a club member selection of our entries for the Wellington region interclub print battle. Bring along lots of prints that could fit the subjects below, and we’ll set them out on tables and all vote for the topics one by one – this is always fun. Smaller unmounted prints OK – but if they are chosen we need to get them printed bigger and mounted – if they are fairly standard shapes (2×3 proportions) I have mounts that can be recycled.
Subjects: Reflections, Looking Up, NZ Landscape, Happiness, NZ Wildlife, Macro, Impressions, Blue, Landing, Tryptich based on the Haiku: Winter leaver, buds tightly rolled, silence.
3. The actual Interclub gathering is Wednesday 17 August, 7.30pm at Khandallah – we’ll organise car-pooling to get people there.
4. Mahara exhibition – BW environmental portraits of Kapiti retired people – the dates are 15 October to 27 November, so they include the two weekends of the Kapiti Arts Trail, which is really good. Anyone in the club is welcome to offer work for selection, and I can arrange the printing. So do consider approaching a friend, neighbour or relative who would be an interesting subject, and we’ll have a first look at what is available at the end of August. Still time after that if we need more to be taken!
