Here's hoping club members have
all enjoyed the summer (what little of it there was) and have managed to
get out with their cameras and got some worthwhile shots.
Just a reminder that the next club
meeting will be on Thursday 10th of September, and the motivational theme
is "Macro Photography".
The Print Battle between Rainbow Camera
club and North West Camera Club (Ballyshannon) is scheduled to take place in
October. Basically it will involve each club producing nine A3 prints from
their members' photographs, one from each of nine different themes, and then
getting in an independent judge to choose the winner in each of the individual
categories. The winning club would be the one with the highest number of
winning images.
The nine
themes chosen were:
- Wildlife
- Macro Photography
- Sport
- Reflections
- Decay
- Street Photography
- Contradiction
- Circles (the shape)
- Open
So we have between now and
sometime in October to get our nine images chosen and printed. As they have to
be printed at A3 size, they need to be high quality images.
At our September meeting we will put some time aside to discuss this.
Three of the themes happen to have been our motivational themes this year: Wildlife, Reflections, and Macro Photography - which may be of help for us choosing images.

If members have any images that they
think may be suitable for any of the categories feel free to either email them
to the normal club address, or bring them on a memory stick (or memory card) to
the September meeting. In the meantime the submissions for the various monthly
motivations will be examined by the committee and a list will be put together
of possible suggestions for the various categories. These will be shown and be discussed at the
September meeting.
Hopefully
we can choose an image for each of the nine categories at the meeting, so that
they can be printed before the October meeting.
The club will of course arrange for the images to be printed, and cover the cost from club funds, once they have been selected.
