Next Meetings at Tradies – 3rd December, 2024

The Shire Amateur Photographers’ Society is unique in relation to other camera groups, in that its underlying aim is to ‘Learn from each other, not compete against each other’.
Meetings often attract 80 keen photographers, both amateur and some professional, from the Shire and beyond, to learn about, experience, and develop a better understanding of their hobby, while providing an opportunity to socialise with other like-minded people.

Society meetings are usually held on the 1st Thursday of the month.  If you intend to come along for the first time, give Greg a ring to get further details (0415 412 244).
Meetings start at 7pm and run until about 8.30pm, then have a chat and socialize afterwards.

WHERE:
Tradies (the Sutherland District Trade Union Club)
corner Kingsway & Manchester Rd, Gymea
see GOOGLE MAP

COST:
Entry to each Tradies meeting is $5 which goes towards the room hire and operating expenses of the Society.
You can attend as a visitor for two meetings before becoming a financial member which is $30 a calendar year.

The meeting is a relaxed casual talk about photography, reviewing images, discussing composition, exposure etc, and photographic techniques.  Everybody is encouraged to participate & give their opinions, suggestions or photographic experiences, so that others might benefit.  We discuss photographic topics each month, and examples and images are viewed during the meeting.

We set a Photographic Task to take each month, and members are invited to send in images to review at the following meeting.  The other regular images viewed each month are from the Outings for the month.  We also have Member Portfolio segment, where members can present a series of images, depicting their photographic style and interests.

It always amazes me how differently individuals perceive a given subject, either with the task or having the same subjects to shoot, in the same conditions, on a Society Outing.  The variety of photos that are submitted, show you the options that are available.  You don’t need to submit photos, attending the meeting is more than enough.

We also run Photographic Webinars on Zoom:
‘Learn how to think as a Photographer’ 7-8pm followed by ‘Lightroom Tips & Tricks’ – Friday nights (7pm)
Note: These webinars usually run weekly but for further info, next webinar date, or Zoom link to join us, please ring Greg (0415 412 244)

Have some questions, give me a ring (Greg – 0415 412 244), or you can go to my Contact Page of my website and request further information.
