Outing to Stainbank Nature Reserve- October 2018

Our October outing was to Stainbank Nature Reserve. We had a small turn out but those who attended had some good fun and some great photographs were taken.
   
| Outing to Ushaka Aquarium - August 2018 |
Our August outing was to Ushaka Aquarium. We were treated to an early viewing to allow us to take our photographs. Thanks to Anne for arranging our visit. We had a great time. I think we managed to get some fantastic photographs.
After our session we retired to John Dory to enjoy coffee, breakfast and to discuss the photo shoot.

Thomson's Bay Sunrise Shoot - July 2018
|
A number of brave souls braved the early morning for a chance to photograph the sun rising over the ocean at Thomson's Bay. Unfortunately the sun was camera shy and chose not to give us a magnificent display. Despite the lack of good photo opportunities a good morning was enjoyed by all.
BONAMANZI WEEKEND - MAY 2017
|
Our annual weekend away was at Bonamanzi Private Game Reserve up the north coast. We had a pretty good turn out our 23 people which made for a great weekend of socializing, drinking by the fire and taking photos.
We were very fortunate with some amazing weather the whole weekend as well as a cloudless night for taking photos of the stars. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and I am looking forward to the next weekend away.
While there we were given a small challenge, we had 6 categories:
Big 5
non Big 5
Flower
Bird
Human Portrait
Open
The rules were simple, no humans for the first 4 categories and then no cropping allowed. Below are the photos entered...
Thank you to all those that came to the weekend away and a big thank you to Rory for organising.

MARIANNHILL MONASTERY - MARCH 2017
|
We had a good turn out for our March outing to Mariannhill Monastery. It was a lot more impressive than I first thought it would be and definitely worth a visit. After a good walk around the Monastery, through the museum and up the bell tower we all sat down for breakfast at the tea garden. Thanks to all those that came along...

| TECHNICAL EVENING - SMOKE |
January was the first Technical evening of the year and it didn't disappoint. Rory Baker hosted the evening and gave us a great presentation on smoke photography, using flashes and how to process your images and come up with creative images.
Rory then set up a few work stations for everyone to try it out themselves and use what they just learnt. Thanks Rory for a great evening and looking forward to the next technical event.
